Construction[edit]
Skeletals have a glowing red seal on their bodies, for humans on the forehead, that can only be created by using blood.[2] This is the thing that allows them to return to a semblance of life. The bones of the skeletals must also be whole for the skeletal to function. If bones are removed or broken, the creature will collapse and not move until it is repaired. If any of the bones are broken beyond repair or lost, wooden carvings of the bones can take their place. Small alterations to the bones are also permissible, like sharpening the bones to make removing them difficult.
Uses[edit]
Uncertainties Where does the Blood come from? How active are the skeletons? Relation to Lifeless?
