Ghoul King Incarnate, Variant 3 (5e Class)
GKI (Ghoul King Incarnate)[edit]
A Ghoul King Incarnate is a rare type of ghoul. A ghoul whom is born once every 10,000 years with the ability to command and produce more of the ghoul species. This demonic being is typically born into the world when to offset balance from the abyssal dimension. Biologically Normal ghouls are identical to a member of any humanoid species, with a few exceptions. Firstly, they are exclusively able to consume humanoid flesh, coffee, and water; any other food tastes as foul as rotten trash and offers no nutritional value. Secondly, they bear a sac-like organ somewhere within their body that converts nutrients into RC cells, which in turn cause them to become almost immune to conventional weapons, and grants them their own natural weapon. Ghoul King Incarnates on the other hand have the immediate access to any kind of ghoul weapon/kagune and an immense amount of RC Cells. Distinguishable by vert few historical scholars via their 6 eyes of the abyss, Ghoul King Incarnates create other ghouls under their command. As a ghoul king, your capable of consuming normal human food however it doesn't nourish your kagune or ghoulish abilities already making you much more sustainable than any other ghoul.

Hunger[edit]
As a Ghoul King, your diet is comprised of three things, Humanoids, Coffee, and water. Ghoul Kings can eat human food however it doesn't sustain them as well and wont fuel their ghoulish abilities. Ghoul Kings require 1 Medium sized humanoid per 2 + your Constitution modifier days, otherwise, they will attack the nearest humanoid and attempt to kill and eat them on sight. Ghoul Kings may eat a hefty meal comprised of some sort of meat in order to add 1 day to the counter. Ghouls usually wear a mask when hunting in order to keep their identity a secret. When your Kagune is out or you're eating or hungry, Your sclera(White part of the eye) turns black and typically your iris turns blood red. As a Ghoul King however, your pupil turns purple rather than red. If you fail to meet your hunger requirements, you lose the ability to use your Kagune until you eat, and for every day you starve you gain a level of exhaustion. If you consume food beyond your ghoul diet, you must succeed a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or vomit, and regardless of the outcome it does not count toward your food requirement.
If you suffer from exhaustion levels, feeding yourself will cause them to decrease by 1.
Ghoul Body[edit]
Ghouls are not creatures to be treated carelessly, their physiology gives them great abilities and surprising strength. At the first level you get the following benefits:
- Steel Skin
- you are immune to non-magical blunt, slashing and piercing damage. Only magical or silver weapons can pierce your skin and cause damage. Your AC is equal to 10 + Your Constitution modifier + Your Dexterity modifier.
- Superhuman Strength
- You can roll a d6 for your unarmed attacks, in addition, you can use Dexterity instead of strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed attacks. You also have the Powerful Build trait, which makes you count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift. Additionally: you can exped 5,000 RC to give yourself either a +4 or advantage on any strength check or strength saving throw you make
- Superior physiology
- You have a superior body in several ways, thanks to it, you are immune to diseases, you have resistance to poison damage and you cannot suffer from the poisoned condition. You also gain proficiency in acrobatics and athletics, along with additional Movement speed while unarmored (shown on the unarmored movement table). This bonus increases when you reach certain levels, as shown in the leveling table. Additionally, your hit point maximum increases by 10 at 1st level, 20 at 11th level, and 30 at 20th level. Finally, you can expend 5,000 RC to grant yourself either advantage or a +4 to any dexterity check or constitution saving throw you make
- Kakuhou
- You have an inhuman organ in your body called a kakuhou. This organ houses your RC cells, which are the reason for your supernatural abilities such as your kagune, supernatural regeneration, enhanced senses, etc. At first level you have an RC cell count of 5,000, which increases as shown on the table. Your RC cells fully replenish on a short or long rest. Additionally, for each medium sized human creature you eat above your required minimum permanently increases your RC cell count by 1,000.
Kagune[edit]
At 1st level, you get what identifies you as a Ghoul, the Kagune, when you activate your natural weapon, your sclerae become completely black and your eyes turn scarlet red, this manifestation is completed when you deploy your additional deadly limbs composed of RC cells. The damage of your Kagune is the same as your unarmed attacks, the damage will scale with the level as indicated in the table. It takes 5,000 RC cells to activate your kagune, which lasts for 1 hour. This increases to 10,000 at level 10, and 15,000 at level 20. Your kagune's each have their own pool of hit points depending on the kagune you chose, which is listed here:
- Rinkaku
- A very damaging yet fragile kagune. Despite your enhanced regeneration, you kagune's hit points are quite low; with each tentacle only possessing 1/4 of your maximum hit points (rounded down). If a tentacle is reduced to 0 hit points it is demanifested, and you must use RC cells equivalent to 1/2 the cost to activate your kagune in order to resummon the tentacle
- Ukaku
- A fast and lethal kagune at range. despite its fragile appearance, its hit points remain at a solid 1/2 of your maximum hit points (rounded up). However, the ukaku is one pair of wings, meaning that unlike multi apendaged kagunes, once your ukaku is reduced to 0 hit points, it demanifests entirely, and summoning your ukaku again requires the full cost in RC cells
- Bikaku
- A versatile
At 1st level Ghoul Kings only have access to one kagune, but gain another kagune at level 10 which includes Rinkaku, Ukaku, Koukaku and Bikaku at 1st level. You gain each subsequent feature of the additional kagune by taking your current level and subtracting 10, which then determines the level you are with the additional kagune.. Kagunes inflict damage equal to the dice on the Kagune table, which increases with level. You will now always be under the effect of the jump spell.
Regeneration[edit]
At 2nd level, your regenerative abilities become present. You have a pool of regenerating cells equal to your RC cell count/40. as a bonus action, you can recover hit points up to a maximum of your RC cell count/40. this can heal broken bones, bleeding, and sprained or dislocated limbs. If you lose a limb, the regeneration will stop the bleeding, but it won't fully recover until you take a long rest. If you suffer from Hunger, you can only regenerate 1/4 of your hits points maximum, being affected by hunger.
Incognito[edit]
At 2nd level, your days in hiding have endowed you with the ability to hide exceptionally well. When someone makes a Perception check to discern your location, they do so at a disadvantage. When something is looking for you, you gain advantage on Stealth checks to remain hidden from their view.
Heightened Senses[edit]
At 2nd level, being a Ghoul has made your senses sharpen, in order to become an apt predator, you have advantage in perception rolls being able to pick up scents prodigiously and see better than anyone else, you get 30 feet darkvision (If you already had darkvision, raise the extra 30 feet). Additionally, you can expend 5,000 RC cells to hone in on your senses and detect the location of living humanoids within 60 feet of you for one minute. you can use this ability once, and regaining the ability to use it upon completing a long rest.

Elusive[edit]
At 5th level, When you fight, you are difficult to deal with, being quite elusive in this habit. When a creature makes a grapple attempt against you and succeeds, to get out of this state you decide to dislocate your joints to get out of the grapple successfully, (this does not require action). when using this function you take 2d6 damage. Additionally, you can use this feature to move through a space that only a creature 2 size categories or less smaller than you can fit through. The damage received increases to 3d6 at level 8, and 4d6 at level 14.
Lethality[edit]
Joints, vital points, every hit must be executed with maximum lethality. At 6th level, your Kagune and your unarmed attacks count as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances and immunity to non-magical damage.
Fragmented Mind[edit]
Your mind is always in conflict, on one side there is your sadistic side hungry for flesh, the other that retains that impulse of not wanting to become that monster, along with another that perhaps accepts that it is a monster. You have complemented each of these sides, taking the best of each side, thanks to your fragmented mind at 6th level, you have advantage against being frightened, and you have resistance to psychic damage. At level 9, you are immune to being frightened and cannot be mind-read without your consent, any creature that tries this will only find chaos inside your head and will fail in its task, At level 19 your experience as both a ghoul and a being of life grants you advantage on Wisdom saving throws.
Kakuja Block[edit]
Starting at 6th level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can make an attack roll against them as a reaction. If your attack roll meets their attack roll, halve the damage against that attack. If your attack roll fails, you instead sacrifice your Kakuja to absorb the brunt of the blow, de-summoning it and requiring another use to summon it again.
Kakuja[edit]
By consuming food, over time your Kagune evolved, mutating the RC cells in your body, becoming stronger than it already was. If you have eaten at least 10 medium creatures worth of corpses, at 7th level as a bonus action and with the expenditure of 15,000 RC cells you can release your Kakuja, a stronger, mutated version of your kagune. you gain the following benefits:
- You can add your Constitution modifier to damage rolls.

- You have advantage on Constitution checks and Constitution saving throws, and any damage you take is reduced by 2.
- Your movement speed increases by 10 feet and your attacks increase their range by 5 feet.
With this great power, there are also risks: At the start of each of your turns you keep your kagune manifested you must succeed a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw. Upon failure you lose yourself in a frenzied rage, where you will not be able to distinguish between enemy and friend. You must make this saving throw at the end of each of your turns to avoid losing your sanity. you can use your Kakuja a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier, you regain all uses after a long rest.
Insanity Control[edit]
At 9th level, when you have your Kakuja active, you can decide to suppress your madness during that minute, you can only do this once a day, after that minute passes and you continue using your Kakuja, you will have to make your saving throw against your madness as usual. Thanks to this, you are immune to the effects caused by the different types of madness, but if you suffer from one of these, when you activate your Kakuja, they will come to the surface.
Hard to kill[edit]
Starting at 10th level, your regeneration can keep you fighting despite serious wounds, pushing you through your limits, without falling defeated. If you are reduced to 0 hit points while you have Kagune active, you can make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. If you succeed, you are instead reduced to 1 hit point.
Each time you use this trait after the first time, the saving throw increases by 5. When you finish a short or long rest, the saving throw resets to 10.
