Description
The Skeletal steed is an undead skeletal war horse with the tattered remnants of saddle and tack still clinging to the exposed bones of its frame.
Skeletal steeds attack with its fore-hooves and its bite. They are immune to Sleep, charm, or hold magic, and are turned as a ghoul. Skeletal steeds, like other automaton undead never fail morale and will fight until destroyed.
Like other skeletal undead, skeletal steeds take only half-damage from edged weapons, and only a single point from arrows, bolts, or sling stones (plus any magical bonus), however they take full damage from bludgeoning attacks.
