Constitution drain: (15): Living creatures who are hit by this attack loses 1d HT (resisted by HT-2). The attack also deals 1d-1 crushing damage and for each successful attack on a living creature the wraith heals 3 HP. Reach C (Affects Substantial).

Create Spawn: Humanoids killed by a wraith have their spirits torn from their bodies and transformed into new wraiths 4d seconds after being killed. These new wraiths follow the commands of the wraith that spawned them.

Traits: Dark Vision; Dependency (Mana); Doesn’t Breathe; Doesn’t Eat or Drink; Doesn’t Sleep; Dread (sunlight); Fragile (Unnatural); Frightens Animals; Immunity to Metabolic Hazards; Immunity to Mind Control; Intolerance (Living Beings, Total); Insubstantial(Affect Substantial, Always On); Unaging.
Skills: Brawling-15; Intimidation-11; Stealth-12.
Class: Undead.

This is the first D&D creature I have converted so feel free to point out any mistakes I might have made or anything you would have done differently.

Crushing damage instead of Toxic? Seems an odd choice, what is your thinking there? I cant think of a reason, off hand, that a wraiths touch should be able to break down a door, just as an example.

Might as well throw Dominance in the list of Traits, thats what creates the Spawn in GURPS.
