combat_abilities
[{"name":"Fighting attacks","description":"Ghouls have the usual range of unarmed attacks open to humanoids. Also ghouls have claws that are razor-sharp and filthy; these bony protrusions slice through human flesh in an instant. Wounds caused may become diseased if not treated."},{"name":"Bite and hold (mnvr)","description":"If the ghoul’s bite strikes home it hangs on instead of using claw attacks, and worries the victim with its fangs, continuing to do 1D4 damage automatically per round. An opposed STR roll is required to dislodge the ghoul, breaking the hold and ending the bite damage."}]
