| Description = Bloody bones skeletons are named not because they are, themselves, bloody, but because of the terrible defensive magics steeped into them, which act to break the bones of any creature unlucky enough to damage them. Appearance-wise, bloody bones skeletons look and act identically to skeleton soldiers.  In fact, the necromancers who create them are counting on this to add an extra edge to their defender's efficacy.

: Bloody bones skeletons are terrible necromantic things specifically created to serve as sentinels.  Because they never need to eat, sleep or breathe, and they do not age, they can stand guard over a place or thing forever, only lurching into action when strangers approach. It is not uncommon for these guardians to outlive their creators, guarding secret laboratories long after the point of the defense has been forgotten.

| Role-Only--Replace-Rez-Power--Description = When a Skeleton is first made dead, it is not really destroyed. Instead, as an immediate free action, its various bones burst apart in a vicious explosion of flying bits, that effects an area {{#expr:{{CR|n=5|op=div}}+2}} sides square. All enemy creatures in this area of effect suffer {{CR|n=2|op=mult}} points of {{dmg|bludgeoning}} damage, without save. The skeleton is removed from the field of play, but remains in the initiative order.
 
At the start of its next initiative, as a seperate free action, the various bone bits coalesce in a burst of dark energies. The GM inflicts {{CR|n=2|op=mult}} points of {{dmg|necrotic}} damage on all enemy creatures in this space (again, without save), and the skeleton builds itself anew, with its Bloodied hit point value of {{Bloodied-Hit-Points}}, in any unblocked space the GM chooses in that area. Note that this space does NOT have to be unoccupied, and skeletons using this ability can and often do reconstitute themselves inside the space of their enemies(especially Mounted ones), bypassing the need to Clamber and inflicting normal penalties for being inside another creatures space.
 
Once the skeleton has reconstructed itself as a free action, they may act continue to act normally at their usual initiative tick, until really 'killed', as the GM desires.

Special Abilities

Bloody Bones (Sp) Automatic, 1/Rnd/attacker

One time per round per enemy, when the bloody bones skeleton is damaged by an attack (anything: melee, ranged, spells, etc.), the attacker must make a Fortitude save, DC 18, or lose 1d3 points of Strength Ability Damage, as one or more of their bones is broken or shattered by the necromantic magics suffusing the bloody bones skeleton.

The first time this ability successfully inflicts Strength damage to any creature each round, the bloody bones heals 14 points of damage. The healing aspect of this ability may not occur more than once per round, though the Strength damage aspect certainly may affect as many creatures as make attacks.

Note that attacks which include the bloody bones, but do not specifically target it (such as a fireball spell, or the splash damage from an alchemist's bomb), still trigger this effect. This is a spell-like ability and thus can be resisted by spell resistance, but it is automatic, and therefore no concentration checks are ever required.

Mimicry (Ex) Always On

Bloody bones skeletons look and behave exactly like Skeleton Soldiers, and only a Knowledge (Religion) check against a DC of 27 will reveal that they are something quite different. The DC for this check drops to a DC of 19 as soon as the bloody bones ability is triggered.

Step In and Strike (Su) Free Action 1/Rnd

Up to once per round, prior to making an attack, whether melee or ranged, a bloody bones skeleton can take a free 5-foot step. This does not provoke attacks of opportunity, is not limited by having already moved, and does not cost them any actions.

Damage Resistance (Ex) Always On

Skeletons are highly resistant to all physical damage except bludgeoning. They reduce all non-bludgeoning physical damage by 11 points.

Bloody Bones Skeleton

Bloody Bones Skeleton

Bloody bones skeletons are named not because they are, themselves, bloody, but because of the terrible defensive magics steeped into them, which act to break the bones of any creature unlucky enough to damage them. Appearance-wise, bloody bones skeletons look and act identically to skeleton soldiers. In fact, the necromancers who create them are counting on this to add an extra edge to their defender's efficacy.

Bloody bones skeletons are terrible necromantic things specifically created to serve as sentinels. Because they never need to eat, sleep or breathe, and they do not age, they can stand guard over a place or thing forever, only lurching into action when strangers approach. It is not uncommon for these guardians to outlive their creators, guarding secret laboratories long after the point of the defense has been forgotten.

The ritual of creation involves the extended torture and eventual sacrifice of nine humanoids, the broken remains of which are joined by the ritual's magic to create the skeleton's body and house the terrible magic they possess.

Combat Tactics

Bloody Bones skeletons are mindless automatons, directed to guard a place or a thing by their creator. They are often created in small packs, and will stand unmoving and inert until someone other than their creator approaches.

Once in combat, bloody bones skeletons look exactly like regular skeleton soldiers, but they are not nearly the skilled melee fighters those creatures are. They will mindlessly attack with their rusty swords, always targeting the nearest foe (and choosing randomly if more than one target is the same distance away). Only when they are attacked in return do the differences stand out. The bloody bones ability is automatic, crippling attackers and healing the bloody bones skeleton at the same time.

GM's should be aware that encounters with these creatures could cause several days of downtime for a party afterwards, as they rest to recover their drained strength.

Out of Combat

Rusty Equipment Skeletons wear equipment and wield weapons that are as old as they are. All their equipment has the Fragile property, though GM's shouldn't bother with tracking broken conditions on weapons.


Immortality

Many undead creatures, such as this one, cannot be killed by normal means. However, it will lie shattered and dormant after being defeated for up to a century before rising again to seek to rid the world of life. Casting either Sanctify Corpse (Cleric Spell) or Gentle Repose (Cleric Spell) on the defeated corpse of the creature will add an additional one hundred years to the time it takes for it to re-compose. Laying the defeated corpse on consecrated ground for a full day will prevent it from ever rising again, as will casting Rest Eternal (Cleric Spell) on it. Applying Raise Dead (Cleric Spell), Resurrection (Cleric Spell), or using similar life-giving abilities will restore the original soul back to the corpse, bringing that person back to life and permanently destroying the necromantic animus that had possessed the body previously. This creature's body will never decay (further than it already has) nor age due to time or neglect.
