Homebrew Boneman Species Details

The Boneman is a creature of undeath, however not necessarily necromantic. Some may have been brought back by their god to complete their destiny, some may have been resurrected as part of a pact with an otherworldly entity. The Boneman may also resemble any of the many races found around the world, as anyone can die, however everyone is the same when they are dead. You may want to edit parts of this race, such as the walking speed, to more fit with the race that this undead once was. There is also the question, does the Boneman remember anything of their past life? or has that been lost to the grave.
