Incorporeal Movement. The specter can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain, taking 5 force damage if it ends its turn inside an object.
Life Drain. Melee Spell Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 10 (3d6) necrotic damage. The target’s hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken, and the specter regains hit points equal to that amount.
How hard a fight? Against a party of four, a single specter is medium at level 1 and easy at level 2, and barely a challenge from level 3. Add allies or more foes in the encounter generator.
Where you'll find it: dungeons and towns and cities.
