skeletons

Created by Eragongggg

In the forgotten realms, the skeletons were once noble warriors who sacrificed their lives to defend their homeland from the clutches of a dark and malevolent force. Imbued with the remnants of their former courage and determination, these skeletal guardians now roam the lands, clad in the tattered remnants of their armor, wielding the very weapons they once used to vanquish their foes. Their hollow eyes burn with a spectral light, a silent testament to the unfinished battles they continue to wage, forever bound to their duty even in the afterlife. These skeletal sentinels stand as a grim reminder of the price of freedom, their haunting presence a beacon to those who would seek to challenge the forces of darkness that threaten to engulf the world. Though their physical forms may have perished, the unwavering spirit of the skeletons lives on, forever vigilant and ever-ready to defend the realm from those who would seek to destroy it.

Actions

Multiattack

The skeleton makes two attacks: one with its sword and one with its crossbow.

Longsword

Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage.

Crossbow

Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage.

Spectral Charge

Once per day, the skeleton can move up to its speed in a straight line towards an enemy. If it ends this movement within 5 feet of the enemy, it can make a melee attack as part of this action. On a hit, the target must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be frightened until the end of its next turn.

Abilities

Undead Fortitude

If damage reduces the skeleton to 0 hit points, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit. On a success, the skeleton drops to 1 hit point instead.
