Undead Lord & Bloody Skeleton


Rules Questions

Andoran

So, can a Cleric (Undead Lord) make his Corpse Companion a Bloody Skeleton?

And would it still be his Corpse Companion when it comes back from destruction after the hour, or is the link severed upon its destruction?


"She can use this ability to create a variant skeleton such as a bloody or burning skeleton, but its Hit Dice cannot exceed half her cleric level. She can dismiss her companion as a standard action, which destroys it."

I'd say it comes back unless dismissed

Andoran

Thanks. I think I got myself confused by having used the Command Undead ability on a normal skeleton running around the scenario, and that one ends when the target is destryoed, where the Corpse Companion ability doesn't include any such restriction.

In other words, ignore this thread.


Can someone show me where it says they come back from destruction after an hour?


It doesn't say that on the page.

It just says you can take 8 hours to make a new one and it doesn't count toward your total HD of undead.

Bloody Skeletons are the Phoenix of skeletons.

Here you go. Right from the SRD:

SRD wrote:

Deathless (Su)

A bloody skeleton is destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points, but it returns to unlife 1 hour later at 1 hit point, allowing its fast healing thereafter to resume healing it. A bloody skeleton can be permanently destroyed if it is destroyed by positive energy, if it is reduced to 0 hit points in the area of a bless or hallow spell, or if its remains are sprinkled with a vial of holy water.


ahhh, thanks, i didn't realize it was something specific to the bloody, i thought he was talking in general.


While the imagry of the continously reanimating skeleton is seen in a fair amount of fictional sources, the blood covered skeletons being the ones to do this walked right out of Castlevania / Akumajō Dracula.
