Special Abilities
Disease (Su): Ghoul Fever: Biteinjury; save Fort DC 13; onset 1 day; frequency 1/day; effect 1d3 Con and 1d3 Dex damage; cure 2
consecutive saves. The save DC is Charisma-based. A humanoid who dies of ghoul fever rises as a ghoul at the next midnight. A humanoid who
becomes a ghoul in this way retains none of the abilities it possessed in life. It is not under the control of any other ghouls, but it hungers for the
flesh of the living and behaves like a normal ghoul in all respects. A humanoid of 4 Hit Dice or more rises as a ghast.
Madness (Ex): Rhorsk uses his Charisma score instead of his Wisdom for all of his Clerical abilities.
Touch of Chaos (Sp): Rhorsk can imbue a target with chaos as a melee touch attack. For the next round, anytime the target rolls a d20, he must
roll twice and take the less favorable result. He can use this ability 8 times per day.
Chaos Blade (Su): Rhorsk can give a weapon touched the anarchic special weapon quality 5 rounds once per day.
Touch of Evil (Sp): Rhorsk can cause a creature to become sickened as a melee touch attack. Creatures sickened by his touch count as good for
the purposes of spells with the evil descriptor. This ability lasts for 5 rounds and he can use this ability 8 times per day.
Scythe of Evil (Su): Rhorsk can give a weapon touched the unholy special weapon quality for 5 rounds once per day.

reroll a Ride skill check or a saving throw made by the mount twice per day, but must use the second roll even if it is worse.
Ride Them Down (Ex): BKruss can spur his mount on while readying an attack. If his mount takes a single move, BKruss can make a full
