    Best part of skeletons? They don’t get a share of party loot when the encounter is over, they just go back to dirtnap.

        Is this just a meme, or not? I can’t tell. I expect that as a proper, responsible tiefling pyromaniac, I’d always be touching myself - and occasionally casting Protection from Energy while I’m at it. Or keep Absorb Elements in my back pocket.

          I’ll ask you to consider that not everyone plays Tieflings, or other races with fire resistance, as Wizards.

            They really should. Wizards light themselves on fire a lot. More of them should be dedicated to the art of fireproofing themselves.

                I’m a dragon, I fell into lava and panicked, only to find out it was somewhat pleasant

                I then unceremoniously got out of said lava and accidentally whipped molten rock at a team mate

                  But was your character’s equipment fireproof, and how much did it cost to replace every single mundane item that burst into flames and fell away like the cladding falling away from a house engulfed in flames?

    Is there a requirement that there needs to be 13 skeletons readily available? Also, does it work on fossilized remains?

    Fun fact: For a group of 13 skeletons attacking the same target, the probability that at least one of them crits is about 49%.

      Am i correct to assume that Crit would do 10-16 damage (depending on if you go with 5 on a hit or 1d6+2)? Of non-magical slashing damage?

    13 skeletons is the max. To raise more you need a Bonelord. 13 Bonelords and you need a Lich. 13 Liches and you need a Titan.

    After 13 Titans, 169 Liches, 2197 Bonelords, and 28561 skeletons… you reach Khali.

    Wish, but for emulating other spells. Literally anything I want, of 8th level or lower, as if it was already prepared? So handy.

    Wait. Doesn’t that mean If you slot it in a lvl 9 slot you will animate

    9 + ( 2 additional per level slot over 4 = 10 ) = 19 skeletons?

    Edit: Never mind. It’s 1 skeleton and 12 extra for being level 9. I assumed every level would also increase the number of skellies raised. My bad
