Stench. Any creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of the ghast must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution save or be poisoned until the start of its next turn.
Turning Defiance. The ghast and any ghouls within 30 feet of it have advantage on saving throws against effects that turn undead.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 12 (2d8+3) piercing damage.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target that isn’t undead. Hit: 10 (2d6+3) slashing damage, and the target must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution save or be paralyzed for 1 minute.
How hard a fight? Against a party of four, a single ghast is deadly at level 1, medium at level 2 and easy at level 3, and barely a challenge from level 4. Add allies or more foes in the encounter generator.
Where you'll find it: dungeons, towns and cities and deserts.
