[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 6889527, member: 2209"] [b]Imperial Gazeteer The Principality of Morgau and Doresh and Realms Subterranean[/b] [URL=http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/80998/Imperial-Gazetteer--Ghouls-and-Vampires-of-the-Midgard-Campaign-Setting?affiliate_id=17596]Imperial Gazeteer The Principality of Morgau and Doresh and Realms Subterranean[/URL] Pathfinder 1e [b]Bone Collective:[/b] Bone collectives are a creation of the Necrophagi, the undead mages of the Imperium. Each collective itself is a creature built of small bones—often those of gnomes, bats, and lizards—combined into a swarm of small, quick, 10-inch-tall skeletons. [b]Darakhul:[/b] Darakhul are born when a creature is infected with darakhul fever and survives the experience largely intact. Some necromancers have claimed that deliberately infecting oneself and then eating only living flesh improves the chances of survival. “Darakhul” is an acquired template that can be added to any corporeal dragon, fey, giant, humanoid, magical beast, or monstrous humanoid creature. Creatures that die while infected with darakhul fever must make a check on Table 2-7: Darakhul Fever to survive the transition. They retain their Constitution bonus for this check, as the template has not yet been applied. Those that fail are simply dead and do not gain the template. Many believe that the hunger cults or the necrophagi know some secret of transforming imperial ghouls and ghasts into darakhul. A creature that dies while infected with a darakhul patrician's darakhul fever must make a check on Table 2-7: Darakhul Fever. If the check is high enough, they rise as a darakhul rather than a standard ghoul within 1 hour. A creature that dies while infected with a ghoul hunter's darakhul fever must make a check on Table 2-7: Darakhul Fever. If the check is high enough, they rise as a darakhul rather than a standard ghoul within 1 hour. A creature that dies while infected with a necrophagus savant's darakhul fever must make a check on Table 2-7: Darakhul Fever. If the check is high enough, they rise as a darakhul rather than a standard ghoul within 1 hour. A creature that dies while infected with a priest of Vardesain's darakhul fever must make a check on Table 2-7: Darakhul Fever. If the check is high enough, they rise as a darakhul rather than a standard ghoul within 1 hour. A creature that dies while infected with the darakhul fever of Nicoforus the Pale's must make a check on Table 2-7: Darakhul Fever. If the check is high enough, they rise as a darakhul rather than a standard ghoul within 1 hour. A creature that dies while infected with darakhul fever from a bonepowder ghoul or any other afflicted creature killed by a bonepowder ghoul rises as a darakhul immediately, gaining the darakhul template and the undead type. [b]Darakhul Ogre:[/b] ? [b]Ghoul Beggar:[/b] Dying while infected with Darakhul Fever. [b]Ghoul Outcast:[/b] These beggar ghouls were once far more powerful members of the empire, but through misfortune and bad luck, they have found themselves destitute and unwelcome within the Imperium. [b]Ghoul Imperial:[/b] Dying while infected with Darakhul Fever. [b]Ghoul Ghast Imperial:[/b] ? [b]Ghoul Legionnaire:[/b] ? [b]Ghoul Ghast Legionnaire:[/b] ? [b]Ghoul Iron:[/b] ? [b]Ghoul Ghast Iron:[/b] ? [b]Ghoul Iron Captain:[/b] ? [b]Ghoul Ghast Iron Captain:[/b] ? [b]Darakhul Patrician:[/b] ? [b]Ghoul Hunter:[/b] ? [b]Necrophagus Savant:[/b] ? [b]Priest of Vardesain:[/b] ? [b]Emperor Nicoforus the Pale:[/b] ? [b]Ghost Knight of Morgau:[/b] ? [b]Ghost Rider Templar:[/b] ? [b]Ghostly Mount:[/b] ? [b]Ghoul Bonepowder:[/b] Ghouls can achieve this powdery form through long starvation. The process invariably takes decades, which is why so few bonepowder ghouls exist. A bonepowder ghoul may rise from the remnants of a starved prisoner or a ghoul trapped in a sealed-off cavern, leaving behind most of its remnant flesh and becoming animated almost purely by hunger, hatred, and the wisdom of long centuries in which to plot the destruction of its enemies. [b]Lich Hound:[/b] ? [b]Ghoul:[/b] Dying while infected with Darakhul Fever. A humanoid who dies of an imperial ghoul's ghoul fever rises as a ghoul or darakhul at the next midnight. A humanoid who dies of a legionnaire ghoul's ghoul fever rises as a ghoul or darakhul at the next midnight A humanoid who dies of an iron ghoul's ghoul fever rises as a ghoul or darakhul at the next midnight. A humanoid who dies of an iron ghoul captain's ghoul fever rises as a ghoul or darakhul at the next midnight. A creature that dies while infected with darakhul fever must make a check on Table 2-7: Darakhul Fever. If the check is high enough, they rise as a darakhul rather than a standard ghoul within 1 hour. Darakhul are created from ghoul fever, a disease that transforms a living creature into one of the undead. Endurance Check Result 9 or lower Target dies 10-12 Target becomes a ghoul 13-17 Target becomes a beggar ghoul 18-20 Target becomes an imperial ghoul 21-24 Target becomes a darakhul warrior 25 or higher Target becomes a darakhul noble Creatures that do not make at least a DC 10 Endurance check do not become ghouls. The disease kills them. This provides the ultimate penalty for trying and failing to enter the ghoul’s kingdom as one of them, and it makes it possible for evil characters to deliberately infect themselves, and join the ranks of the empire.
