Intelligent Undead and remembering past life

[nogoodscallywag]

Can a ghoul with INT 13 remember his life when he was alive? Or is the ghoul a "new" person with its own mind and memory.

A skeleton doesn't obviously.

Partially, I'm guessing. You lose your class levels when becoming a Ghoul, but they do know how to speak. So not everything is forgotten.

I haven't seen a definite answer, but I suspect they start out remembering their past life, but it probably fades relatively quickly. Everything about their existence after being ghoulified is completely different from their life, so it probably no longer has any real bearing on them now.
