On occasion a member of another race may wish to become part of a Ghūl camp. Humanoid races may be accepted by Ghūl, if the outsider is willing to adapt to their way of life and has proven themselves useful to the camp. Typically, such individuals already have a nomadic background. When they are fully accepted, they may be invited to partake in the ritual eating of the Ghūl dead. Upon eating a dead Ghūl, the individual becomes a Half Breed—considered Ghūl, but with significant social stigma. Regular partaking of Ghūl meat can cause the Half Breed start to take on characteristics of the natural Ghūl form.
Ghūl Half Breed Racial Traits
- Size: As original race, but regular partaking of Ghūl meat will move them closer to Medium size.
- Speed: As original race.
- Alternate Form (Su): A Ghūl Half Breed will slowly take on the ability to assume Ghūl form. This ability works much like the polymorph spell cast on itself (caster level 12th), except that a Half Breed does not regain hit points for changing form, and any individual Half Breed can only assume the form of a Ghūl and their original form. Further, the Half Breed may only accomplish this transformation with regular digestion of Ghūl meat. Duration factor increases by one each time Ghūl meat is eaten within a month prior to attempting the Alternate Form.
- Low-Light Vision (Ex): A Ghūl Half Breed can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions, but cannot see if no light is available.
- Any racial bonuses from their original race are maintained.
- Automatic Language: As original race. Bonus Languages: Ghouleh, Dream Common, and Undercommon. With some difficulty a Half Breed may be able to learn the language of a race which they have regularly digested.
- Favored Class: As original race.
- Level Adjustment: +1
