Decrepit Skeleton (Basic Lore)

Decrepit Skeleton (CR 1)
Pure Evil - Medium - Undead
Through dark necromantic power, a corpse can be transformed into a skeleton, shedding its flesh and becoming inhabited by the captured soul of a fallen warrior. Skeletons are nearly always mindless, but surprisingly, this is rarely much of a disadvantage for them. The warrior spirit inhabiting the body moves by reflex, demonstrating an ingrained martial prowess that makes skeletons notoriously effective combatants. Skeletons are motivated by an intense hatred and jealously towards living things. They yearn only to crush that spark of life from everything they can reach. Decrepit Skeletons are less durable than others of their ilk but are still worthy opponents, often wielding a bow to make ranged attacks against their chosen prey.
