The creature must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or waste the spell and have its concentration broken. |
Sometimes, when a ghoul is created, a freak occurrence causes it to become a laughing ghoul. Laughing ghouls endlessly crack jokes and sing nonsensical songs, even if they're the only ones who find them funny. The ghoul's jests and japes may be cheery at first, but they invariably turn dark and they frequently make light of serious subjects. |
