📋 About This Mod

Custom made playable undead races based on a mixture of Libris Mortis and Homebrew.

VERSION 4. 6 UPDATE

This is just a small update. The mod now comes in two versions, the Trips Shader version, which is the same as all previous versions, and the Kazstra Tav version.

The Kazstra Tav version comes with all the features Kazstra Tav supports, extra scars/makeup/tattoos and body tattoos/glow. Because of this there is a slight visual difference on the glowing present on Lich characters chests. Please see the Kazstra Tav mod page for supported customizations and how to use them.

The main Kazstra Tav file is utilizing the Virtual Texture version of the mod, there is an optional file under updates that can be used if you are using the Non-Virtual version of the mod.

VERSION 4. 5 UPDATE

I'm back one again with a small update for this mod, mostly a few extra cosmetic options, but also some bug fixes and needed updates for Patch 8

This update comes with 4 new head variants for both fleshy body shapes, 4 new tail options for fleshy undead and 3 for skeletal, and some updated race icons so that both race options are now visually distinct from one another.

The Ghoul's Toxic Bite ability has also been adjusted slightly to inflict a new status effect called 'Rot' for 3 turns, which will deal 1d4 poison damage each turn. If the status is not removed via healing or from passing a constitution check, it will turn into 'Infection'. Infection will deal 1d6 poison damage each turn, and leave your target vulnerable to all damage types, if it is not removed via healing or passing the same constitution check, the status will continue to reapply its self.

Fixes include:

- Fixed the new Patch 8 Subclass animations not working on undead

- Fixed the broken Paladin starting armours for Skeletons

- Ghoul Claws and Bites should now properly scale off your unarmed multiplier

- Lich Evocation spells should now properly benefit from the Sculpt Spells passive, and any other passive that might effect Evocation spells

- Fixed some jagged vertices on the Decayed head for non-skinny undead

Welcome, welcome! If you seek Tav's most foul then you have come to the right place, for this mod contains only the grim and the grotesque.

GHASTLY GHOULS is a custom race mod focusing solely on playable Undead races, it currently contains 4 Unique subraces constructed from a mixture of Libris Mortis (3. 5e) and Homebrew ideas! Each race comes with their own body textures and unique heads that range from 'Died a Tenday ago' to  'Ancient Undead of your dreams Nightmares'!
