Maneuvers. The ghast uses maneuvers (maneuver save Difficulty 13). It has 5 stamina dice which are d8s, a dice limit of 1, regains all expended stamina dice when it finishes a long rest, and regains half its total stamina dice when it finishes a short rest. It knows the following maneuvers:
1 stamina die: cripple, grapple, grievous wound, spring attack, swipe, tear flesh
Stench. Any creature without this trait that starts its turn within 1 meter of the ghast must succeed on a Difficulty 10 Fortitude saving throw or be poisoned until the start of its next turn. On a successful saving throw, the creature is immune to all stenches by similar creatures for 24 hours.
Turn Defiance. The ghast and any other sword wraiths within 5 meters of it have advantage on saving throws against effects that turn undead.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) piercing damage.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage.

The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

On a critical hit, add twice as much damage.
On a miss by 4 or less, add half as much damage.
Enhance
You can increase the damage for each additional stamina die expended and the slowed level by 1 for every two additional stamina die expended.
