-Eating your own kind is taboo, and with the breaking of taboos come certain powers. Ghoul is one of those classes that's almost completely meant for monsters, not for players. I guess if somebody really wants to be a vampire or whatever then they could take levels in it, but only as long as everybody around the table is okay with that kind of stuff.

Cannibalizing a single corpse requires a procedure to complete. \\ \\ {{ra>doubled?24&align=left}}**Sweeney Todd:** If you also know the Supertaster ability from the Chef class, you can make and consume prepared meat cuts from members of your own or similar species in order to temporarily borrow their power. |

 ^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Absorb Memory:** After feeding on a corpse, you gain some of the deceased's memories and can answer any simple question that the subject would know the answer to (such as “where are the diamonds hidden?” or “what was their real name?”). \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Fading Fast:** After getting your answer, roll a trigger die. On a 7+, you may answer another question. On a 1-6, the memories have faded and you cannot ask any more. You can keep answering questions until you roll a 1-6, at which point you're done. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Vague Impressions:** You cannot answer complex questions that would require more than a short phrase as an answer. All stolen memories automatically fade at the end of the session even if you didn't exhaust them by asking questions. |
