By Blood he is born, by Deed he is forged. [Base Class]

[Tanuki Tales]

Negative level dealing is the major power that undead have. Paralysis (to be more specific to that monster) is also nice.

Well, negative levels isn't the schtick of Ghouls and it does get Paralysis. I even put feats that specifically increase the potency of its paralysis as bonus feat selections to try and give the whole Path a boost.

I didn't look at that one Ghoul in the Libris Mortis though...

Controlling minions would give it an awesome niche: this class can be a Dread Necro. Or, a Solar. Now that's choice.

Well, it does get some minion creation and control abilities. Should I maybe make their duration permanent but really drive home the amount cap?

And what about the Solar?
