Skeletal Types
==Skeletal Types==
[[Image:Mon-skeleton3.jpg|thumb|A [[Skeleton]].]]A lot of undead comes in the shape of a [[skeleton]], or a skeletal construct. As necromantic magic works, it doesn't have to be pieces of one single old skeleton, but it can be pieces from a number of corpses. As [[Abd al-Hazir]] says in his [[Writings_of_Abd_al-Hazir:_Entry_no._0008|entry on the Skeletal Undead]], it's up to the [[Necromancer]] or mage that reanimates a skeleton on how much energy he infuses it with, and the intelligence and power of the skeleton varies greatly. Some are nothing more than a brainless shell, attacking with limbs or simple tools, while others have enough intellect to use more complex tools like bows, and powerful ones can cast spells and even summon additional skeletons themselves, making a skeletal army potentially very powerful.
There are also truly powerful skeletal undead, like [[King Leoric]], which is infused by the power of his tormented soul in addition to dark magic.
