Ghast

There isn’t a ghast per se in the Monster Manual and the ghoul’s jump from level 5 to level teens so I whipped up a ghast for myself and of course I post it here so that I have access to it from anywhere.  And as a result you have access as well if that kind of thing floats your boat.

I was debating making the ghast a leader type but decided to make the aura a weaken instead.  Ghoul’s don’t really listen to leaders anyway but they do acknowledge that the ghast is a superior form of their peculiar undeadness.

Each ghast in an encounter will typically have 2 to 4 ghouls associated with it to fill out the ranks.  They’ll try to get in close to immobilize and poison targets as well as keep the bad guys weakened and doing little damage.  They’ll use their great speed and climbing abilities to get to ranged attackers or to get around defenders to the soft targets in the back.
