Homebrew Skeleton Species Details

Skeletons are the re-animated, completely decomposed body of a humanoid. The flesh has completely disappeared, leaving a bone structure magically held together, that moves oddly in its attempt to imitate life. The difference between each type of Skeleton can be observed by certain tell tail traits that are uniquely present of each of them. God Touched Skeletons whether their actual death was recent or many centuries ago are pristine, without apparent wear on their bones that almost shine with a white polish that never seems to dull. Those created by a magical fluke often will have strange little quirks or physical anomaly's, a single hair growing out of a crack in the bone, a dark spot across their skull, the occasional harmless magical spark that flies off them before fizzling out, a glow that runs down a crack in the bone, a limp as they walk, a twitch or stutter. Finally, those raised as minions are more receptive to commands or rules given, their bones are also notably harder, this can be observed with a simple tap, physically speak raised minions generally have died more recently and this can be observed with still present skin or hair but otherwise they don't have much else that distinguishes them from a normal skeleton.
