Paralysis (incapacitation, occult) — Any living, non-elf creature hit by a ghoul's attack must succeed at a DC 27 Fortitude save or become Paralyzed. It can attempt a new save at the end of each of its turns, and the DC cumulatively decreases by 1 on each such save.
Swift Leap (move) — The ghoul jumps up to half its Speed. This movement doesn't trigger reactions.
WORKS WELL WITH
AnvilLAND / SUBTERRANEANAn anvil holds enemies in place while the flanker applies Paralysis from Swift Leap, setting up critical hits for the whole party.
SniperLAND / SUBTERRANEANA sniper benefits enormously from paralyzed targets, which become automatic critical hits when the flanker delivers Paralysis.
