Create Guardian

Using your own life essence, you create a loyal guardian that will serve you even in undeath. You may expend your essence to create an undead guardian using the corpse of any creature with a Challenge Rating of 1 or less. This creature returns to life as a skeleton with the same statistics it had in life and gains the following traits:

• The creature has hit points equal to double the caster's level.
• Immunity to diseases and the poisoned condition
• Immunity to poison and necrotic damage
• Intelligence becomes 3
• Cannot speak, but understands its creator
• Any damage except bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing becomes necrotic
• Cannot use spells
• Undead Nature: It does not need to eat, drink, breathe, or sleep.

This creature will follow any command given it by its creator. The creator may also communicate with it telepathically. If no command is given, the creature will defend itself to the best of its ability.
