Actions
Life Drain
Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 18 (4d8) necrotic damage. The target must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or its hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.
Silence the Living {@recharge 5}
The scream thief forces a humanoid within 30 feet of it to make a DC13 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the target takes 19 (3d12) psychic damage, is frightened, and is unable to vocalize a sound of any kind. The target may repeat the saving throw at the end of its turns to end these effects. On a success the creature takes half as much damage and is not frightened or silenced.

"It appeared from the darkness: a faceless wraith whose outstretched arms sought purchase on my mortal frame. In desperation, I cried to my companions for aid, but my voice was silent. When it stole my words, I knew my doom was at hand."
