Bone Archer

Also known as Bony Archers, Skeletal Archers, or Sepulchral Archers, these Undead are created through complex Necromantic rituals and spells.  They are skeletons whose sole automated skill is archery, something for which they are ideally suited.
== Facts: ==
-Bone Archers are deadly in that they are Necromantic automatons.  Human archers, even skilled ones, will eventually need to sleep or lose focus.  Bone Archers will not.  Once they take up position, Bone Archers will not lose focus, go to sleep, or become distracted.  They keep watch with all the vigilance of the grave. 
-Bone Archers can make their own arrows, however, the Necromancers who create them often equip them with special arrows which are imbued with death magick or poisons. 
-Bone Archers are deadliest from a distance, however, in close melee they tend to lose their edge and are easily defeated.  The secret to beating them is closing the distance. 
-For maximum effect, most Necromancers will create small groups of Bone Archers to work together.  These Bone Archers will either lie hidden to attack, or be placed behind other types of Undead more suited to combat, allowing the Bone Archers to maintain distance. 
-Bone Archers are designed to notice every detail, which means they will have above average perception skills.  Those created by expert Necromancers may even be adept at detecting illusions or other supernatural means of evasion.  This doesn't mean they can see past the magick, only that they detect its use.
