That's a good question, and I did consider it. The reason I chose vampire is that I couldn't find a template for ghoul and believe me I looked everywhere. Plus I really wanted to use the Vampire Lord template.:D

I think vampire still works for the story line and plus it has a certain "cool" factor I couldnt reisist.:)

One possibility might be a second set of stats for level 10, using the True Ghoul template. I believe that's in the Creature Catalog - I'm also pretty sure that Piratecat linked to it in his Rogues Gallery thread. Thematically, it makes good sense, and True Ghouls can be every bit as nasty as vampires.

I might see if I can dig it up tonight, and do an alterna-Myrgle.

Unless Blackdirge wants to do it for us :)

I took a look at it and its ok, but I'm still quite happy with Myrgle as a vampire. If any of you want to apply the ghoul template to him on your own, feel free.

Oh I agree, vampires have always struck me as being perfect for the "evil overlord" title. :)

Ok, ask and ye shall receive. Here is an alternate Myrgle at 10th level using Monte Cook’s ghast template. It drops his power level a bit but is more in line thematically with a follower of Yeenoghu.

Well, I love all of the character histories so far, but I must say, this one tempts me to send a smackdown character after him. He's just wrong. :D
