Homebrew Ghoul (Fallout) 2.0 Species Details

Ghouls or necrotic post-humans are decrepit, rotting, zombie-like mutants. They are victims of heavy radiation poisoning which results in their skin decaying and, paradoxically, greatly extends their individual lifetime. Although they look like a walking corpse, Ghouls are in fact otherwise normal humans who have been exposed to massive amounts of radiation during the Great War and survived against all odds. The name Ghoul comes from the mythological beings that devoured flesh and also resembled Ghouls.

Ghoul (Fallout) 2.0 Traits

Ghouls are mutated humans or animals affected by the phenomenon of ghoulification.

Ability score increase

+2 Wisdom, +2 Constitution: You are a walking corpse, humans are untrusting; You have disadvantage on persuasion, deception and performance, but advantage on intimidation against humans.(You have to add the +2's manually)

Ghoul bodies have been changed by the radiation, their internal systems degrading causing their bodies to be less affected by damage. Despite their weakened social skills, arising from the prejudice surrounding Feral Ghouls and their gruesome looks, Ghouls tend to be wiser and more cautious than their short-lived Human cousins.
