514875 761903 761903 Environment: Any, usually the same as base creature. Organization: Any. Treasure: Generally none, although sometimes a skeleton’s creator arms it with magical armor or weapons. variant skeletons Numerous variant skeletons exist, such as those whose bones burn with an unending fire and those who drip with gore and reassemble themselves over time. Both of these variant skeletons can be created using animate dead, but they count as twice their normal number of Hit Dice per casting. Once controlled, they count normally against the controller’s limit. Perhaps the most dangerous variant skeleton, though, is the skeletal champion. This skeleton retains its intellect, and often any class levels it possessed in life. A skeletal champion cannot be created with animate dead—these potent undead only arise under rare conditions similar to those that cause the manifestation of ghosts or via rare and highly evil rituals. Each of the following skeleton types modifies the base skeleton in a few key ways. Except as noted, these variations can be stacked with one another—it’s possible to have a bloody burning skeletal champion. Bloody Skeleton A bloody skeleton is coated in a slick layer of blood and gore infused with negative energy. This gore allows the skeleton to reform and heal itself. In addition to the changes for the skeleton template, make the following adjustments to the base creature. Challenge Rating: As a normal skeleton + 1. Fast Healing: A bloody skeleton has fast healing equal to 1 per 2 Hit Dice it possesses (minimum 1). Saves: A bloody skeleton gains channel resistance +4. Abilities: A bloody skeleton’s Charisma is 14. Special Qualities: A bloody skeleton gains the deathless special quality. Deathless (Su): A bloody skeleton is destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points, but it returns to unlife 1 hour later at 1 hit point, allowing its fast healing thereafter to resume healing it. A bloody skeleton can be permanently destroyed if it is destroyed by positive energy, if it is reduced to 0 hit points in the area of a bless or hallow spell, or if its remains are sprinkled with a vial of holy water. Burning Skeleton A burning skeleton is surrounded by an aura of f lames that deals fire damage to those it strikes. In addition to the changes for the skeleton template, make the following adjustments to the base creature. Challenge Rating: As a normal skeleton + 1. Aura: Burning skeletons possess a fiery aura. Fiery Aura (Ex): Creatures adjacent to a burning skeleton take 1d6 points of fire damage at the start of their turn. Anyone striking a burning skeleton with an unarmed strike or natural attack takes 1d6 points of fire damage. Defensive Abilities: Burning skeletons lose their immunity to cold but gain immunity to fire. A burning skeleton gains vulnerability to cold damage. Melee Attacks: A burning skeleton’s melee attacks (including both those made with a natural weapon and those made with a manufactured weapon) deal an additional 1d6 points of fire damage. Abilities: A burning skeleton’s Charisma is 12. Special Qualities: A burning skeleton gains fiery death. Fiery Death (Su): A burning skeleton explodes into a burst of f lame when it dies. Anyone adjacent to the skeleton when it is destroyed takes 1d6 points of fire damage per 2 Hit Dice the skeleton possessed (minimum 1d6). A Ref lex save (DC = 10 + 1/2 the skeleton’s Hit Dice + the skeleton’s Cha bonus) halves this damage. Skeleton 251 514875 514875 761903

These undead are far more powerful than their mindless kin, and many gain class levels. Creating a Skeletal Champion “Skeletal Champion” is an acquired template that can be added to any corporeal creature (other than an undead) that has a skeletal system (referred to hereafter as the base creature) and a minimum Intelligence of 3. CR: A skeletal champion’s CR is +1 higher than a normal skeleton with the same HD (see page 250). Type: The creature’s type becomes undead. It keeps subtypes save for alignment subtypes and subtypes that indicate kind. Alignment: Any evil. Armor Class: Natural armor as per skeleton (see page 250). Hit Dice: Change all of the creature’s racial HD to d8s, then add 2 racial Hit Dice to this total (creatures without racial HD gain 2). HD from class levels are unchanged. Defensive Abilities: A skeletal champion gains DR 5/ bludgeoning, channel resistance +4, and immunity to cold. It also gains all of the standard undead traits. Speed: As standard skeleton (see page 250). Attacks: As standard skeleton (see page 250). Abilities: Str +2, Dex +2. As undead, it has no Constitution score. BAB: Its BAB for racial HD equals 3/4 of its HD. Skills: Gains skill ranks per racial Hit Die equal to 4 + its Int modifier. Class skills for racial HD are Climb, Disguise, Fly, Intimidate, Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (religion), Perception, Sense Motive, Spellcraft, and Stealth. Skills gained from class levels remain unchanged. Feats: A skeletal champion gains Improved Initiative as a bonus feat. Saves: Base save bonuses for racial Hit Dice are Fort +1/3 HD, Ref +1/3 HD, and Will +1/2 HD + 2. 514876 514876 761904
