Skeleton Caster
Skeleton Caster
Humanoid Skeleton, E Medium Undead (Mindless)
Simple Monster, XP 600
Level 3 (+2)
"This one was particularly difficult, even though she was a lesser mage! Something about being a wizard makes you much more difficult to animate, but that’s never stopped me before! I could animate a damned Leprechaun corpse if I had enough resources."
——Khalesh the Necrofiend, the early years
Glowing with a sickly green or black swirling energy encasing their brows, the Skeleton Caster possesses a small suite of the powers that it had in life, retaining only a portion of its former skill. Unlike most common Skeletons, this enables them to attack at range with Eldritch magics, arguably making them far more dangerous than other undead. While being mindless, these skeletons also possess a higher degree of understanding, and can employ simple tactics when attacking a foe, such as ambushing or weakening their enemies from a distance so other skeletons can move in to finish them off.
