If you like my work, please consider leaving a tip on Ko-fi! Neither my mods, nor support for them, will ever be gated behind or be based on payment or donation - this is just for if you feel like encouraging my coffee habit xD
To Be a Skeleton
As a Skeleton, you have a base +1 Constitution, Darkvision, Immunity to Poison damage, and Vulnerability to Bludgeoning Damage. You also have an ability, Skeleton Finger, which allows you to use your boney finger to pick locks once per short rest.
You also have the choice between two distinct "Subraces" of skeleton: Stury and Dextrous.
Sturdy Skeleton
The Study Skeleton has scraps of armor attached to its body, an additional +1 to Constitution, and +1 to Charisma.
Dextrous Skeleton
The Dextrous Skeleton is unarmored, and has +2 to Dexterity.
