Darkvision

A monster with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-level Darkness spell, block normal darkvision. A monster with Greater Darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.

Negative Healing

A creature with negative healing draws health from negative energy rather than positive energy. It is damaged by positive damage and is not healed by positive healing effects. It does not take negative damage, and it is healed by negative effects that heal undead.

Destructive Vengeance Reaction

Trigger The ghoul antipaladin takes damage from an enemy within 15 feet


Effect The ghoul antipaladin increases the amount of damage they take by 3d6, and they deal 3d6 damage to the triggering enemy, choosing evil or negative damage to deal to the enemy each time the antipaladin uses this reaction. In addition, the antipaladin deals 4]4 extra Damage of the chosen type with their Strikes against the triggering creature until the end of the antipaladin's turn. An enemy damaged from the ghoul antipaladin's Destructive Vengeance also takes 4 Persistent Evil Damage; this applies only to the damage the reaction itself deals to the triggering creature, not the damage the antipaladin deals with subsequent Strikes.

Shield Block Reaction

Trigger The monster has its shield raised and takes damage from a physical attack.


Effect The monster snaps its shield into place to deflect a blow. The shield prevents the monster from taking an amount of damage up to the shield's Hardness. The monster and the shield each take any remaining damage, possibly breaking or destroying the shield.

Consume Flesh One Action (manipulate)

Requirements The ghoul antipaladin is adjacent to the corpse of a creature that died within the last hour

Paralysis (incapacitation, necromancy, occult)

Any living, non-elf creature hit by a ghoul antipaladin's attack must succeed at a DC 25 fortitude save or become Paralyzed. The creature can attempt a new save at the end of each of its turns, and the DC cumulatively decreases by 1 on each such save.
