[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8874430, member: 57383"] A Wraith's [I][B]Life Drain[/B][/I] DC is CON-based with a base of 10. An SRD [b][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/gamemastering/monsters-foes/monsters-by-type/undead/wraith']Wraith[/URL][/b] has CHA (+2), CON (+3), Proficiency +3, so the likely possibilities are: Base 10 CON +3 Prof +1 => save DC 14 Base 10 CHA +2 Prof +1 => save DC 13 Base 8 CON +3 Prof +1 => save DC 12 Base 8 CHA +2 Prof +1 => save DC 11 Since its Life Drain DC is 14, only the first option makes sense. If the Stone Giant Wraith is the same, its CON +3, Proficiency +5 makes DC 18 for its [I][B]Life Drain[/B][/I], not 17. It should probably have "[B]Languages[/B] Giant" like the Stone Giant Wight. Speaking of which, I'd suggest giving it darkvision 120 ft. like the wight. It would seem inconsistent to have the wraith only see half as far in the dark, especially considering it has explicitly "shadowy" powers. [/QUOTE]
