Creature Feature: Ghouls

We've looking at playing a character who becomes a ghoul, but as anyone who's played Fallout knows there isn't just one kind of ghoul.  More importantly there is a big different from intelligent talking reasoning ghouls and the feral creatures that stalk the wasteland.

On top of the difference from feral and non feral ghouls there are also several sub-types as well.  The most commonly known is the irradiated Glowing Ones, but there is also the even more deadly and powerful Reavers.  These are still in play test and I actually recently had to nerf my ghouls a bit after a pretty brutal fight with my players, but as of now these are the shambling creatures populating Fallout First Survivors.
