 Ghouls are a durable species with undead resistances. In particular, [[poison]] immunity helps early, while [[torment]] immunity is great in [[extended]]. If you play to their strengths (heavy armour, usually with [[Unarmed Combat]]), you can win without too much fuss. They can also be decent casters (in [[Ice Magic]], [[Necromancy]], or [[Earth Magic]] in particular).
