Context: D&D 5e / Adventures in Middle Earth.
In the next session of my campaign, the party will face one of the Ring Wraiths.
Not the Lord of the Nazgul, mind you, "just" one of the others. He's been causing mischief on his own, sabotaging the Dwarves of Erebor by keeping one of their former allies (a Giant) weak, tortured and imprisoned. Being pure fucking evil, he didn't just kill the giant, of course; the Nazgul love the taste of misery and pain. This one in particular drinks it in like a fine wine, bringing up his strength after his defeat by the White Council about 5 or 6 years ago. He's been feeding on the giant like a vampire for many, many years.
What sorts of abilities would you grant such a creature? I don't want to just use a typical wraith stat block from the D&D 5e monster manual... unless folks think that's decent enough?
They heroes own at least two magical weapons, so I'd think that they could "hurt" him. If they whack him enough he'll get banished, fleeing to the South.
Thanks!
