Encounter Considerations:

Number: Skeletons rarely travel alone. A group of 2-4 skeletons can be a suitable challenge for a party of low-level adventurers. Commander: Skeletons often serve a more powerful master, such as a necromancer, lich, or vampire. This master might give them orders or even be present at the encounter. Traps: Skeletons are often used as guardians of tombs or ancient ruins and might be strategically placed to ambush intruders or protect areas with traps. Weaknesses: Remember, they are undead. They are vulnerable to radiant damage and certain spells that affect undead (such as "Hallow Ground").

This mace-and-shield-wielding skeleton is a basic but effective undead warrior.
