Diet Dependent: All gravetouched ghouls are diet dependent upon flesh.

Evasion (Ex): If this gravetouched ghoul monk is exposed to any effect that normally allows it to attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage, it takes no damage with a successful saving throw.

Ghoul Fever (Su): Disease-bite, Fortitude DC 13, incubation period 1 day, damage 1d3 Con and 1d3 Dex. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Paralysis (Ex): Those hit by this gravetouched ghoul monk's bite or claw must make a DC 13 Fortitude save or become paralyzed for 1d4+1 rounds. Elves have immunity to this paralysis. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Purity of Body (Ex): Immune to all normal diseases. Magical and supernatural diseases still affect it.

Slow Fall (Ex): A gravetouched ghoul monk within arm's reach of a wall can use it to slow its descent while falling. It rakes damage as if the fall were 30 feet shorter than it actually is.

Still Mind (Ex): +2 bonus on saves against spells and effects of the enchantment school.

Possessions: Bracers of armor +2, potion of bull's strength (2), silver necklace (900 gp), 5 pp.

This creature attacks with surprise, attempting to grapple a target and drag it away from its allies before they can react.

Augmented Subtype

A creature receives this subtype whenever something happens to change its original type. Some creatures (those with an inherited template) are born with this subtype; others acquire it when they take on an acquired template. The augmented subtype is always paired with the creature's original type. For example, a wizard's raven familiar is a magical beast (augmented animal). A creature with the augmented subtype usually has the traits of its current type, but the features of its original type. For example, a wizard's raven familiar has an animal's features and the traits of a magical beast.
