Race & Languages: Your creature type is humanoid. You can speak, read, and write common and one other language of your choice.

Ghoulish Nature. 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 the other consumables ingested cause a 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 1 week. You gain 1 level of exhaustion for every day not satiated. Meat you consume is quickly digested, allowing you to eat without every getting full. If you possess 3 or more levels of exhaustion due to hunger, you lose control and are struck by a blinding desire to eat humanoid flesh. You are controlled by the DM until your hunger related exhaustion is lower then 3.
