Skeleton Introduction: The Naked Truth!
Ancient, reanimated warriors clad in similarly ancient equipment suffer from one major drawback: They’re completely without brains. This is mostly due to the fact that as an organic material, brain matter just doesn’t have the guts to stick it out for hundreds of years, exposed to the elements. Their weapons do have guts though (well, besides yours) and each skeleton gets a choice of three! How about that? They may be brainless (due to rotting away), but three different weapon types? That’s a good deal!
So even though they have all the grace and wit of a block of wood, they still have urges. Well actually, they only have one and that is to kill you dead.
Of course, they’re not much good if they die easily, so they’re pretty tough and they have a nice shield to absorb all you can dish out. They know when to hold it and when to fold it…into your face.
If that wasn’t enough, they have a bunch of nasty surprises up their nonexistent sleeves (does that mean they don’t have surprises? Who knows; who cares?!), so it’s probably best to just stay away from them and pelt them from afar. Slow and lumbering equals target practice, but just be careful they don’t shuffle up your alley.
Like most dead things, they can come in hordes! Thankfully, they usually stay away from each other (they aren’t very social creatures, having nothing to talk about), but sometimes, when given the right impetus, all they’ll really want to do is run at you phalanx style and deliver destruction unto the living! Mwahahaha!
A-hem.
When it comes down to it, there really is only one solution: Send them to the dust whence they came!

- Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. I hope my armor doesn't rust.
Sometimes I write things. This is an example.
I don't have a big boldy signature like Josiah or Walker
