Ring of Animate Dead

This heavy gold ring is imbued a strong Necromantic Power.

When placed on a dead creature, it will raise from the dead as an animated CR 1/4 Skeleton that will attack any creature in a 30 ft radius not wearing a red cloak. The Skeleton will remain animated until reduced to 0 HP or the ring is removed. The Skeleton will resist attempts to forcibly remove the ring. The skeleton cannot be controlled, and will remain still until a creature not wearing a red cloak comes within 30 ft of it.

The ring has no effect on living creatures, but does cause the wearer to feel eerily cold.
