New OE/BX Monster: Stone Skeleton

an introductory OE/BX OSR adventure
for characters level 1-3.

NO. APPEARING: 2-12

Stone skeletons appear as standard skeletons and are animated in the standard fashion, but the bones of the corpse have fossilized. This fossilization of their bones gives stone skeletons a slightly higher armor class and and a bonus to their hit dice over standard skeletons, but it also makes them slightly slower.

As per normal skeletons, stone skeletons are undead and, therefore, immune to sleep, charm and mind reading spells, and can be turned by a good cleric. Similar to golems, their commands can be suspended and "triggered."

  1. Nice monster and an evocative pci to go along with it.
