Actions

Incorporeal Touch Melee Spell Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: The target takes 10 (3d6) necrotic damage.   Etherealness. The banshee enters the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or vice versa. It is visible on the Material Plane while it is in the Border Ethereal, and vice versa, yet it can't affect or be affected by anything on the other plane.

Reactions

Ethereal Counter. When a creature within 5 feet of the Banshee Matron misses it with a melee attack, the Banshee Matron can use its reaction to make an Incorporeal Touch attack against that creature.   Spectral Evasion. When targeted by an attack, shift partially into the ethereal plane using a reaction to make the attack miss.

Suggested Environments

The Banshee Matron is often encountered in places of profound grief and tragedy, such as forgotten graveyards, ancient battlefields, or abandoned ruins. It lingers in areas where the echoes of past sorrows still resonate, drawing strength from the residual pain and anguish. Its presence infests these desolate and haunted locations, serving as a relentless reminder of the darkness that clings to the past.
