Igniting Pitch
When a pitch skeleton strikes in combat, a thick black substance is left behind which promptly ignites, causing 1d6 points of fire damage on the round following the successful attack. On the next round the fire does 1d4 points of damage, then 1d2 points, and finally 1 point on the fifth round. Additional successful strikes from the pitch skeleton restarts this process at 1d6 points of damage on the next round.

A skeletal undead covered in black oily or tarry substance that ignites enemies on contact
A Pitch Skeleton is a skeletal undead that is covered in a black oily or tarry substance, giving it a slick and blackened appearance. Unlike other skeletons, a pitch skeleton has a low level of intelligence and evil intent; they will use basic strategies in combat, such as charging opponents after a successful strike so as to ignite as many of their enemies as possible.
