SPAW N IN G A BLO O D GH O U L
To create a blood ghoul,a vam pire m ust get the
targetcreature to ingestsom e ofhis undead blood.
Creating a blood ghouldoes notharm or weaken a
vam pire in any way.
The vam pire can im pose the tem plate for a
totalnum ber ofweeks equalto his H it D ice,allocating thattim e as desired am ong his blood ghoul
servants in increm ents of 1 week.For exam ple,a
5-H D vam pire could create up to five blood
ghouls,each lasting for 1 week.Alternatively,he
could create three blood ghouls that last 1 week
each plus a fourth thatlasts 2 weeks,orone blood
ghoulthat lasts 5 weeks,or any com bination that
adds up to 5 weeks oftim e.H e need notcreate all
his blood ghouls at once, but he m ust have at
least 1 week of duration available at the tim e he
creates a new blood ghoul;otherwise the attem pt
fails.Each tim e 1 week ofa blood ghouls tem plate
duration passes, the vam pire regains a w eeks
worth of potentialduration.Thus,when the first
w eek of a blood ghouls 2-w eek duration has
elapsed,the vam pire regains 1 week of potential
duration.
A vam pire m ay extend the length of a blood
ghouls service at any tim e by feeding her m ore of
his blood.Each such feeding extends the service by
one week,assum ing thatthe vam pire has a weeks
worth ofduration available.Ifhe has m ore than 1
