Hallowed Bones
   Medium-Size Undead

Hallowed Bones are the skeletons of the devout followers of the Goddess, ritually prepared and animated, and typically employed as Temple guardians by the Neutral Good church. Hallowed bones are usually garbed in traditional robes and equipped with ornate, two-handed great swords. They are commonly encountered in large temples, and in locations where the Church held, or once held, sway.

Hallowed bones are unintelligent and must be commanded. However, they will faithfully perform whatever duties they have been commanded to perform for all eternity or untill they are destroyed.

Combat

Cold Immunity (Ex)

Hallowed Bones are immune to cold-based attacks.

Damage Restance (Ex)

Hallowed Bones have no flesh or internal organs and are therefore resistant to piercing and slashing attacks. Hallowed Bones take half damage from slashing attacks, and have 10/+5 resistance to piercing attacks. Hallowed bones still suffer only half-damage from piercing damage which penetrates their damage resistance.

Turn Resistance (Ex)

Hallowed Bones have +4 turn resistance (see page 10 of the Monster Manual) due to the enchantments used to animate them.

Hallowed Status (Ex)

Hallowed Bones are positively affected by hallow or consecrate spells cast by worshippers of the Goddess and are adversely affected by desecrate or unhallow spells cast by others.

Undead

Immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, and disease. Not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, energy drain, or death from massive damage.
