Skeleton

Skeletons are one of the most common undead creatures.

History

They first appeared during The Nuren Campaign.

Skeletons first appeared during the second act of The Nuren Campaign. Residing in Bopen's Lair, they served the purpose of blocking their master's lair off from trespassers. The Dwarven Siblings, under the command of Kormac, entered the cave and were immediately met with hostile encounters from the undead beings.

Characteristics

Skeletons lack most, if not all, organs and compensate their lack of senses with unorthodox methods, e.g. sight using some sort of magical sonar and communication by chattering jaws.

Powers and Abilities

Skeleton Physiology:

• Sensory Deprivation: Skeletons have very poor eyesight, requiring the magic that holds them to see. A person has the ability to walk past the Skeletons without being noticed by walking slowly.
• Body Dismemberment: When Skeletons perish, be it in battle or natural causes, their skeletal limbs dislocate from whatever magic that held them together, causing them to return to a pile of lifeless bones.
• Pain Suppression: Skeletons, lacking any flesh or blood, have a degree of pain suppression that allows them to be effective in battle, regardless of having any broken bones or weapons lodged inside them.
  • Fire Immunity: Skeletons have the ability to be completely unharmed by fire. They can even walk around with flaming items on them without being inconvenienced.
