Editing Ghoul (section)

==Pathfinder==
Like most OGL monsters they are pretty close to their 3.5 incarnation except for system wide difference. One change outside of this is that since all of a ghoul's weapons are now primary attacks it has no need for the multiattack feat and gets weapon finesse instead. Mechanically this means it's 5% more likely to hit with its bite and 15% more likely with its claws, on what was already one of most likely monsters to TPK. More powerful related creatures exist: Genies cursed to undeath called Ghuls, and extraplanar Leng Ghouls.

Fluff wise however, Pathfinder has one major difference: It remembers ghouls are actually intelligent. For this reason they often form actual cities, albeit in places like the [[Underdark|Underdar... "Darklands"]] or necromancer ruled nation of Geb.

They're also a bloodline. It was primarily intended for ghoul [[Sorcerer]]s, but can be used by players. Likely uses the "magical event" explanation, possibly as simple as "your mom had ghoul fever when pregnant, but survived". You never know though.

Pathfinder also includes Lovecraftian ghouls, mentioned above. Here called '''Leng Ghouls''', they dwell within the [[Dreamlands]].
