Skeletons

A completely decayed corpse or one from which the flesh has simply been stripped. Skeletons are fragile undead yet their minimal bodies makes them hard to hit especially with thrusting and ranged weapons. Skeletons are a common form of undead. For necromancers they are very easy and cheap to create and is the preferred state for slaves or servants who are to be buried with their master as undead. The weak energies required to create them also mean they are the type of undead most likely to rise on their own.

Skeletons are low status undead and are often not given any equipment at all. People who sought to use their undead servants as warriors often clad them in medium armor and with lighter weaponry such as bows or spears.
