Most skeletons are actually constructed from bits and pieces of any number of different skeletons, not a single one. Even more terrifying are the animated skeletal remains of expired magic wielders, who prove that even the dead can wield the forces of magic. Skeletons have demonstrated the use of a wide variety of weapons, including swords, clubs, bows, and even armor and shields, and are often equipped in the same armament in which they fell or were buried with. Skeletons will swarm their targets unquestioningly until their commanding force orders them otherwise. Coupled with their unthinking rage, this makes skeletons dangerous opponents.
Those who fall to skeletons in combat are damned to an eternal lust for living blood. While physically frail, skeletons never lack in number. Theoretically one could have a single astute skeleton servant or a rather dense army of a hundred for the same expenditure of magical energy. While they may seem mischievous or imbecilic, skeletons are unrelenting in their goals, move faster than zombies, and have some spark of intelligence, the extent of which varies on the based on the power and scope of the spell involved in the skeleton's creation. Animated through necromantic rites or the spells of demons skeletons do not seek to consume the flesh of the living, but only to extinguish the life of their victims. Fierce undead warriors, skeletons are the remains of warriors who either died as soldiers in some dark campaign, or were betrayed by those they most trusted.
