[QUOTE="Savage Wombat, post: 6154926, member: 1932"] I think I'll say this just to gripe. Feel free to chew me out. The problem with ghoul paralysis is that the PCs are overwhelmed in melee range - too many saves means they get hosed. What happens to the ghouls if you have range on them? They spend their time charging in, suffering arrows and fireballs, and get slaughtered. (In 3e/PF, they lose their multi-attack advantage too.) Maybe if your tactic for fighting ghouls is to stand there and let them hit you, you're doing it wrong. Maybe if your entire playstyle - regardless of edition - is to maximize your particular combat style, you're going to get hosed sometime. Maybe ghouls are fine the way they are - just like banshees. Sometimes it feels like WotC's version of game play is to maximize "fun" at the expense of "skill." OK, done griping. [/QUOTE]
