Ghoul Creation & Rules

[God]

'Come here – I have a task for you.'

Companion, servant, underling, pawn, emergency snack – call them what you will, but ghouls fill a special niche in Kindred society. For all their power, they cannot operate during the day – and while they are immortal, once you subtract the hours hunting and the like they actually have less hours to achieve stuff than even the stupidest of Kine.

Good job they can be enslaved then.

After much thought, I have decided the following...

- Human ghouls will not have a full character sheet; however, they will have a partial sheet [similar to your character's 'Base Rolls' card].

- Every ghoul will be constructed as a collaborative effort between the player and myself. While they're primarily your baby, my decision is final [as ever].

- Interactions between your ghoul[s] and your character during Downtime will be decided by rolls in a myriad of actions, from socialisation to leadership. Even such things as the nature / demeanour of both master and servant will be taken into account.

- Ghouls will improve over the years; this is automatic and free. However, if your character wishes to teach your ghoul new tricks, this will cost XP.

- Ghouls do not earn their own XP.

- When on a mission, I will control the ghoul. In purely social interactions, the player controls it [though I reserve the right to take control at any time].

- Ghouls are only able to 'teach' themselves Celerity, Fortitude and Potence. Other Disciplines can be taught to a human ghoul – the costs and which ones can be taught will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

- All Backgrounds for the ghoul will be included in their domitor's sheet.
