Ability

Bonetaker

(divine, necromancy) Whenever a creature dies within 60 feet of a skulltaker, the skulltaker draws a portion of the creature's bones into its shard storm. The creature must succeed at a DC 40 Will save or rise as a skeletal champion in 1d4 rounds. These skeletal champions are controlled by the skulltaker.

DC 40; 8th finger of death (x2), horrid wilting (x2), punishing winds (x2); Constant (6th) true seeing

Ability

Energy Drain

(divine, necromancy) When a skulltaker hits with a melee Strike, the target must succeed at a DC 40 Fortitude save or become drained 2 and doomed 1.

 

Ability

Shard Storm

(air, aura, divine, necromancy) 10 feet. A cloud of bone shards surrounds the skulltaker. When a creature moves into the emanation or begins its turn there, shard storm attempts to counteract any death ward effect on the creature (+30 counteract modifier) and then deals 4d6 slashing damage and 4d6 negative damage to the creature, with a DC 40 basic Reflex save.

 

Ability

Skeletal Lore

(divination, divine) A skulltaker taps into the memories of the creatures whose bones make up its body. This gives it the Skeletal Lore skill, which it can use to Recall Knowledge of any kind. In addition, it can speak and understand all the languages known by the creatures whose bones make up its body (typically including Common and the regional language of the skulltaker's home region). The skulltaker can use Skeletal Lore as the primary skill check for the legend lore ritual, and it can cast legend lore without secondary casters.

 

Ability

Splintered Ground

15-foot circumstance penalty for 24 hours on a critical failure. The bones remain in place until the skulltaker uses this action again or the bones are manually removed, which takes 10 minutes for each 5-foot square.
