 Boooo

You're thinking of a ghost not skeleton

They should have given it resistance to piercing damage like 4e skeletons. This would make up for vulnerability to bludgeoning damage.

This tickled my funny bone

Love how I can have some guy's corpse as a familiar now. Like yeah, that's my unpaid intern Jim, he was a gift from satan.

Can they still wear armor?

???????? huh???

No funny skeleton picture :( im sad

No art? Seriously? Why?

 This is from the Free Rules so there isn't any art. There will most likely be art when the Monster Manual comes out in February.

MORE dex, necromancer benefits even more from making skeletons now (especially when zombie health got butchered from 22 to 15) as it will be easier to hit enemies on later levels making em even more useful.

I give him to a random stray dog, he go bye bye >:)

Guys what?

*Bad to the bone starts playing*

Understands the languages it knew in life but can't speak

Everybody sign hello to our newest recruit, Watch Officer Boney; She's offered to go undercover with those darn adventurers plaguing us recently; see if she can elicit a confession from them when their guard is down. Officer Gibbet proved the concept already, played dead so well, they tried to bury him! We believe he may have acquired some important intel during the operation, but unfortunately, he took a blow to the head and his brain is still missing; we're hoping Em here's predisposition will grant her more success on that front.

Adding Piercing & Slashing resistance to mine. This is dumb. 

I don't know if this was asked and answered before. But, can a Skeleton use magic items? can it be commanded to activate a magic item? or even Attune to one?

 Your world, your rules. You want to make these bags of bones harder? Piercing and slashing resistance and magic items. Perhaps they attuned to the magic item in life, and it is still attuned to them in death. 

yes i love it
