Ghoul Whispers
Requirements A , , , or creature is within the ghoul's reach

Stage 2 2d6[void] damage and the target is Sickened 1 until it consumes raw meat (1 day)
Stage 3 as stage 2
Stage 4 as stage 2 unless the target has consumed raw meat in the past 24 hours, then it takes 4d6[void] damage and is Sickened 2 until it consumes raw meat;
Stage 5 if the creature has eaten raw meat in the past 24 hours, it dies and rises as a ghoul, if not, it returns to stage 4
Grave Knowledge
{+7} skill modifier
Frequency once per hour
Effect The ghoul calls upon knowledge it retains from one creature it has consumed in the past 7 days. The ghoul attempts a skill check using a skill in which the consumed creature was trained (if it's unclear whether the creature was trained, the GM decides). The ghoul is treated as trained and uses the high skill modifier for the ghoul's level. This takes the same amount of actions or time as usual for the check.
The ghoul can instead automatically learn something specific known by a creature it consumed in the last 7 days, like the location of a treasure or the name of a loved one. The ghoul can do this only once for a given creature, no matter how much of its flesh the ghoul consumed.
Swift Leap
The ghoul jumps up to half its Speed. This movement doesn't trigger reactions.
