|specialtext1=As [[SRD:Undead Type|undead]], skellingtons are immune to [[SRD:Poison|poison]], [[SRD:Paralyzed|paralysis]], [[SRD:Stunned|stunning]], [[SRD:Disease|disease]] and [[SRD:Death Effect|death effects]]. They are not subject to [[SRD:Nonlethal Damage|nonlethal damage]], [[SRD:Ability Drained|ability drain]], [[SRD:Energy Drain, Negative Levels, and Level Loss|energy drain]] and damage to its physical ability scores (though a skellington has no [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] score). However, unlike most undead, they are still subject to [[SRD:Critical Hit|critical hits]] and mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns and morale effects). While they cannot take [[SRD:Nonlethal Damage|nonlethal damage]], they instead take half damage as lethal damage from damage sources. Skellingtons have skeleton souls and may be raised from the dead (as skellingtons) using either their body or the tooth of a powerful creature (any [[SRD:Aberration Type|aberration]], [[SRD:Dragon Type|dragon]], [[SRD:Giant Type|giant]], [[SRD:Magical Beast Type|magical beast]] or [[SRD:Undead Type|undead]] of at least 10 HD) as a substitute. Because they are [[SRD:Undead|undead]] and lack a [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]], it would appear they never suffer for this. They otherwise have [[SRD:Undead Type|undead traits]] as listed there.

|specialtext2=A skellington gains [[SRD:Improved Unarmed Strike|Improved Unarmed Strike]] as a bonus feat.
|special2=Bone Strike
|specialtype2=Ex

|specialtext3=A skeleton has [[Hinder Energy (3.5e Creature Ability)|cold hindrance 50%]], reducing cold damage by half.
|special3=Cold Hindrance
|specialtype3=Ex

|specialtext4= A skellington can, as a free action (even not on its turn, forgoing any saving throw), choose to fall apart when dealt damage from an attack, spell or ability, collapsing in a pile in its space and becoming [[SRD:Prone|prone]]. If it makes a check (1d20 + 1/2 his HD + his Dexterity modifier) against the damage dealt, he ignores all damage, otherwise he takes half damage. A skellington can put itself back together as a [[SRD:Move Actions|move action]] that provokes [[SRD:Attack of Opportunity|attacks of opportunity]]. A skellington cannot take physical actions (other than [[SRD:Move Actions|move actions]]) unless it is at least 50% complete. A skellington's separated parts have a move speed of 5 feet and attempt to move toward the largest chunk/occupied space (or skull, barring that) unerringly and mindlessly so long as some part of it is on the same plane.
|special4=Fall Apart
|specialtype4=Ex

|specialtext5=Skellingtons are mostly hollow and rather light-weight for their size. A skellington is treated as one size smaller for [[SRD:Bull Rush|bull rush]], [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]], [[SRD:Overrun|overrun]] and [[SRD:Trip|trip]] attempts against them and for using the [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]] skill. A skellington is also considered to be one size smaller when [[SRD:Movement, Position, and Distance#Squeezing|squeezing]] through restrictive spaces. These features stack with effects that change a skellington's size category. Additionally, a skellington is easier to raise from un-death. Only half of the gp value material component requirement for spells is needed for success.
|special5=Nothin' But Bones
|specialtype5=

|specialtext6=A skellington gets a +2 racial bonus on [[SRD:Intimidate Skill|Intimidate]], [[SRD:Jump Skill|Jump]] and [[SRD:Perform Skill|Perform (dance)]]. These skills are always class skills.
|special6=Skeleton Powers
|specialtype6=

|specialtext7=A skellington that makes a successful [[SRD:Intimidate|Intimidate]] check against an unaware opponent (or during a [[SRD:Initiative#Surprise|surprise round]]) to [[SRD:Intimidate Skill#Demoralize Opponent|demoralize]] doubles the applied penalty of [[SRD:Shaken|shaken]] (granting a –4 penalty) for the 1 round. The skellington must be adjacent to his opponent to use this ability.
