Skeletal Warrior

Description

The Skeletal Warrior is distinct from a simple reanimated skeleton. While ordinary skeletons are crude constructs animated by basic necromancy, a Skeletal Warrior requires a far more complex and demanding ritual to raise.

Unlike lesser undead, Skeletal Warriors possess a 20% chance of retaining memories from their previous life. These memories are often fragmented, surfacing as instinct, muscle memory, or flashes of recognition rather than full awareness. When present, such recollections can grant the warrior greater combat skill, tactical awareness, or familiarity with weapons and terrain.

Because of the difficulty involved in their creation and the risk of residual identity, Skeletal Warriors are rare and dangerous. They are more disciplined, resilient, and effective in battle than common skeletons, making them prized assets for necromancers willing to risk the additional effort and potential consequences.
