Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Dexterity score increases by 1.

Ghouls are forced to eat humanoids to survive. Their methods to procure meals drastically alter their alignment. Some resort to violence towards the living, while others prefer feeding on the bodies of the previously deceased.

Your creature type is humanoid. You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.

Your ghoulish lineage thrives on the consumption of certain foodstuffs. You cannot consume anything but humanoid meat, plain water, and a single nonmagical beverage of your choice (Chosen during character creation). All other consumables ingested cause painful reflux which inflicts 1 level of exhaustion.

For reference, you can fully consume the flesh of an average mature human in 1 day, satiating you for a week. You gain 1 level of exhaustion for every day not satiated. The meat you consume is quickly digested, allowing you to eat without ever getting full. 

If you possess 3 or more levels of exhaustion due to hunger, you lose control of yourself and are struck by a blinding desire to eat humanoid flesh. You are controlled by the DM until your hunger-related exhaustion is lower than 3.

You have an exceptional sense of smell and hearing. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell and can always tell the difference between a human and a ghoul.

As a bonus action, you can summon a blood-red weapon known as a kagune and turn your eyes into black voids with red irises. These features last for 1 minute or until you end them both as a bonus action.

Your kagune is a natural melee weapon that grows from your body with a range of 10ft. It counts as a simple melee weapon for you, and you add your Strength modifier to the attack and damage rolls when you attack with it, as normal.

During character creation, choose between bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage (This cannot be changed later). On a hit with your kagune, you deal 2d4 damage of the chosen type.

Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

At level 3, your kagune's damage dice increase to 2d6. You can also choose an enhancement for it:

• Elongated: Your kagune has a melee range of 15 feet.
• Pushing: Your kagune pushes creatures hit 5 feet away from you.
• Pulling: Your kagune pulls creatures hit 5 feet towards you.
