Overview

Skeletons are the most basic and spare of undeadkind, all flesh and semblance of life stripped away from the body until only a chattering mockery remains. Being composed purely of brittle bone, all skeletons are vulnerable to ⁠Bludgeoning damage and immune to ⁠Poison damage.

Players can summon and directly control friendly skeletons with  Animate Dead.
