Defensive Abilities: A skeletal champion gains DR 5/ bludgeoning, channel resistance +4, and immunity to cold. It also gains all of the standard undead traits. Speed: As standard skeleton (see page 250). Attacks: As standard skeleton (see page 250). Abilities: Str +2, Dex +2. As undead, it has no Constitution score. BAB: Its BAB for racial HD equals 3/4 of its HD. Skills: Gains skill ranks per racial Hit Die equal to 4 + its Int modifier.
