But what if a skeleton drinks lots of milk and becomes reinforced with calcium?
Aldor
Use water.
Calcium + water = hydrogen, oxygen, & heat = fire
Aldor vitamin d does far mire to strengthen bones too much calcium actually makes your bones brittle (though too little also)
Skeletons have no intestines so milk is difficult to drink. They could coat themselves in concrete or butter tho. But I still think that the best weapon to unalive skeletons is a pommel.

And the shambling bones came out of the dark and the brave adventurer noticed the beard still on it's jaw and he realized: "A Skalleton!"
The adventurer is boned if he fights that Skalleton.

Use a great weapon works really well
Use a mace!
Griswold figured it out in 1996.
"If you're looking for a good weapon, let me show this to you. Take your basic blunt weapon, such as a mace. Works like a charm against most of those undying horrors down there, and there's nothing better to shatter skinny little skeletons!"
Ogden, the innkeeper said it similarly. "You can cut the flesh, but you must crush the bone."
So for zombies, crawlers, and dark ones, a sword or axe, and mace or hammer for the skeletons. Ironically, I found that, due to damage, an axe actually covers both.
Because skeletons don't have muscle to get in the way their movement is limited only by the strength of their bones and the involved magic (or perhaps even just the magic). So with the right magic you can give a skeleton two swords, have it stick its arms out and then spin its torso around at a very high speed to create a circle of death. Dare you face the...

Jase there's a theory that the reason skeletons are so weak in skyrim is because there is a common problem of calcium deficiency. Ever notice how "milk drinker" is a common insult in skyrim?
Vytas can they be as good as higher ranked draugrs?
Jacob M. Good theory right there
Jase - Perhaps the reason Skyrim’s skeletons are so weak by comparison to Oblivion’s is because in Oblivion the most powerful necromancer in Tamriel was ‘alive’?
How to defeat two skeletons: twist the skull off one, use it to end the other rightly.
Underrated comment.
I think that what makes skeletons dangerous is that they use weapons, it looks like the necromancy bounds the souls of dead warriors to their remains, they still retain some of their fighting skills, maybe even the most of it.
Thing is, as Skall points out, wouldn't the fact that they have no extra mass **severely** hinder how much damage they can do? Maybe to an unarmored and unarmed person they're deadly, but i think even someone with almost anything they can get their hands on {things like kitchen utensils and general tools} would be able to at least repel any of the Skeleton's attacks with ease.
As for people with even light armor, the Skeletons would have a very hard time hitting them, as remember what i said above plus armor that's meant to prevent damage from fully developed men, so chances are their weapons and attacks are probably going to feel like a little kid wacking you with a toy.
@@Manglet762 The weapon still has mass. A kid with a baseball bat can still break your bones

Same here.
In most magical Worlds Skeletons are the way you described them. The Magic holds the Bones together while a Magic entity controls the vessel. The stronger the Necromancer the stronger the Skeleton will be and the more force is required to detach the Bones from the Body. Also the more Skeletons the Necromancers summons the weaker they are. In some Worlds the summoned Magic Entity that controls the Bones is "trapped" in the Head so by destroying the Head the Entity escapes and the Skeleton falls apart or stops Moving (depending on the Magic Universe you end up inside).
Isn't the magic entity the soul of the warrior who owned thos very same bones?
Hmm, I wonder why other arrangements of bones are not made that would be much better than your standard skeleton like a huge skeleton that basically is a exoskeleton, or skele-blender like the top guy suggested or why not just make a whirlwind of bone fragments to obliterate everyone I never really understood why necromancer in most fantasy universes haven't try'd that.
+ARX 351 Not always. In some stories the deceased person's soul has moved on to the afterlife and the skeleton is basically a puppet animated by a necromancer and/or some kind of malevolent spirit.
+Jadon Stinson The "Fighting Fantasy" gamebooks by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone have exactly that. Sure they have regular skeletons but there's a whole bunch of alternate types. There's the Bone Devil (exactly the "whirlwind of bone fragments" you describe), there are skeletons with bony plates fused to them (exoskeletons again like you describe), floating skulls, skulls with legs fused to them, skeletons with four arms and so on. They're amazing!

You missed the obvious solution, HOLY MAGIC!

the skeleton argues against the existance of gods so well that you lose faith and become an atheist, thereby not using holy magic.

@@LucianCanad No one has love for the Arbalester.
Also also, bring not the Occultist. He brings 0 Bleed.
Also bring your Flagellant to make it more challenging
Quad Crusader, Holy Lance, Smite, Battle Cry, and Stunning Blow on all of them. Easy Win.
Nah, you need proper healing, even with good trinkets at least two of them should have Battle Heal since only two can use stunning blow at once. It wouldn't be good for higher difficulties.
For magic that reanimates skeletons, I always thought it would invoke "the memory of the bones" and make them move in the way the bones did when they belonged to a living organism. This would also mean that the skeleton of a highly skilled swordsman would also be a lot more powerful than a skeleton of a farmer. Anyone got any thoughts about this?
I imagine the opposite: The bones being controlled by being inside a full ghost of their former body with all skills, memory and soul. Any armor would do the same. So the ghost can fight and talk and do everything else, using the bones and armor as body substitute. Prisoners chains remain attached too.
Your examinations always give me great material to make mundane changes to magical topics.
Resulting in much more interesting encounters. Thank you.

You already have videos which are underlined with a quiet, calm music in the background.
It creates a great atmosphere while watching and listening.

lol his wife...
if the skeleton is armored, you might as well have enchanted the spirit take over the armor instead.
but then you cant tell it to rattle its bones when it dances to your spooky song!
@@XCodes And you can only have one Golem too.
But you can dominate as many Revenants as people you kill.
Generally, the body having once been alive allows an evil spirit to possess it in a way it couldn't for steel
Because the armour is easier to seperate than bones just take a mace and with enough impact suits of armour fall apart instantly. thats why with a base human skeleton you get some points into your shock absorbsion stat
Could be a psychological effect to control the bones instead, depending on the situation. Like in a world where undead are not particularly common, as in Game if Thrones, I think it would terrify most people.
How about fighting a Golem?
I reckon they'd be just about the most difficult fantasy creature to fight, depending on the size and material they're made from. A 3m tall, vaguely humanoid colossus, built for combat, animated by magic, made of a single solid material all the way through. No vital points, no soft tissues to damage, and far sturdier than any living creature.
Get me a diamond pick axe and its fcked
Traditionally, Golems could not actually be fought against, you had to know the spell to command it to stop, or find a way to end it's mission for it.
Catapult or rather the superior trebuchet
The original golems were made of clay.
All you do is bring a hot air pistol and dry them into a rigid statue so they can't move. Then you shatter them with your pommel.
@@sevenproxies4255 The Golem would probably pull you apart before you had the time to dry it into stone. Not to mention that you would just probably only dry it's outer surface, granting him a more durable protective layer.
Skal, in my newest ttrpg campaign Ive made you into an arms merchant. These test videos and reviews just fit that so well and my players and I all love your stuff
So, if magic holds the bones together very well, and they are light.. what about grab one by his leg and use him like a weapon... if he breaks.. just take another one :D
please return used skellingtons to the used skeelington compartment.
Sticky Magic, huh? Do you have to rub the wand to perform it?
Mein gott.

*oh,thats not a wand..*
@@darthalex3 Are you happy to see me or are you just casting a spell?
*( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)*
A "realistic" fantasy movie/book would be quite hilarious. All the usual tropes, just a little bit different: imagine the standard way to fight skeletons is just to pick them up and throw them around. This would be something well know in a world where you would encounter such creatures regularly.
Every time I see all this theory crafting by Skall, Shad and their fans, I just wish somebody integrated these thoughts into their work already. ^^
Edit: Also: Weighted nets (with like lead balls or something) might be really good, as skeletons are usually shown as stupid and they could get tangled up, with their low mass themselves the impact might trip them. Often they are also on the weaker side compared to humans so the weights on the net might actually keep them down for quite some time.
I'm working on a fantasy book, but I think I will watch all of skalls and shads videos before.
Bolas would just take the legs right off if well- thrown.
I'm just seeing in my head the character throwing skeletons around...
Or grabbing a skeleton to hit other skeletons with it...
Did some quick looking around, and the dry skeleton of a 200-pound man should weigh in around 7 to 12 pounds. That's not hard to lift and throw one-handed. You could easily grab the skeleton by the spine-- making it impossible for it to retaliate-- and smash it against every convenient wall until it's pulverized. The sassy black girl from Scary Movie was right all along!
I just found you, Skallagrim and now I LOVE you!!! Thanks so much for all you do. Much love from Texas :)
Skal, your sense of humor is a blessing

Great, now I've got the "Skeleton Warriors" theme playing in my head.
You're the best, Skal.
I love your channel so much! Keep it up brother!
Wow this video was so interesting! Please make more videos like this one. They are awesome!
Ya, skeletons are a hard thing to talk about because they are so dependant upon the magic system. Still a fun discussion
How do I deal with a skeleton that has flesh, skin and organs???
A blow to the dick with a mace
just run away. too overpowered
Pommel
Remove the flesh. Then they're defenceless.
Jacob Vance no then they're invincible doot doot warriors of doom
It's been a while since I've watched your channel. I have to say, I like the changes to the program.

Supposing you padded a skeleton with rags to fill out its armor?

Wonder if that could be misunderstood >.>

Also DnD do makes sense: blunt weapon break bones, sharp weapon cuts flesh.
Glad i found your channel! keep the good work
Oh, man. Ross beating it up.) In most fantasy lore that i have read the undead will not relent until the will of the necromancer ceases or it's concentration is broken. Pushing past the animated cadavers or evading them to get to the source is probably your best bet.

4. Profit!
I like the way skeletons are portrayed in Planescape: Torment: the skeletons are literally just reanimated, and the fragility of the skeletal structure and the natural decay of the bones is dealt with separately; skeletons have iron bolts to reinforce joints and serve as connection points for artificial muscles and ligaments (usually leather straps). Their armor is also grafted to their body, and they can have several enchantments woven onto their body and armor that deal with things like decay, damage, senses (skeletons have no eyes, ears or noses), or other magic users trying to undo or alter the magic placed on the bones, for example.
Where in the world did you get that AWESOME coat??!!? I want one too!!!!
Commenting for notifications. That coat is baller
Its from tesco
Looks like something out of Bloodborne.
Waiting for notifications
Commenting for notification i want that coat also
I like to imagine reanimation magic for skeletons as a spectral muscle system, as in something that gives them the ability to move and the strength to actually wield and swing a weapon, certain variations in systems like in D&D can make the skeletons tougher as well depending on the power so it is a nice way to imagine it as the magic force becoming more solid, in that sense the force field isnt too out of the question as long as we keep in mind it wouldnt be an invincible one or in fact a rather weak one, as far as weak points well of course anything that breaks the bones so no wonder blunt weapons would work best, some instances have a magic focus such as a particular type of gem on the eye sockets in which cases you might need to break whichever part the magic focus is on or they might continue moving regardless, yes I have put a lot of thought into this so I wanted to add a bit, who knows, it could be useful advice... some day... maybe...
personally i've created a few different types of skeletons i hope to have implemented, there's ones that use magic runes to act as joints/tendons/ligaments, ones that have a central rune that controls the whole thing that has to be disrupted, haunted ones that you just have to kill again(as if they were alive.) and ones that you either have to smash into dust/bits, and/or find the mage who's risen them,and end him/his magical influence.
P.S. if you don't mind commenting on this, which do you find a more interesting/cooler idea for dragons: they can change shape between two forms, a beast like, dragon form(just look like a dragon.) and a more humanoid form, but they can't jsut be whoever they want, they have a face, that's their face. or there's two types of dragons(this one, i feel, really only makes sense if i provide the lore/context,so if you need/want that, let me know.) ones that are only dragon like, they're just as intelligent, but bigger, meaner, monster-y-er, and ones that're all humanoid. ? if you care to answer that, thanks!
~Cobra.
I tend to go with both, actual dragons being powerful magical creatures capable of changing into a specific humanoid form (although depending on the situation/magic they might be able to choose other forms too), as well as there being dragonborns, half-dragons and other draconic beings that have dragon traits without being an actual dragon or having the monstrous form
well, the original idea, was the first one, y'see, the dragons long time ago had a thousand year long war against their gods, when they came back they were pretty terrifying and fought each other a lot,so many races banded together to drive them off, they went into hiding, and originally:they learned polymorph,learned how to have their children know it upon birth, and then at the point of any of the campaigns i hoped to take part in,they'd be able to switch between a dragon form and a more human looking form. they were in hiding and assumed to be extinct,btw. but now i kinda wonder, what if the dragons couldn't switch, but there were dragons that look human(maybe a bit elf-ish) but are most definitely dragons, and dragons who look like dragons?
Thanks Skall I’m just a level 4 warrior so this was very informative 11/10
Hey weird question love the coat! Where could I find one? Love the mjolnir by the way!
I wish I really did need this advice in real life. :’)
Arda, no you don't.
Every time I roll the garbage bin out to the curb, I'm like, "UGH, how do I deal with all these SKELETON WARRIORS?" You can't take five steps in this neighborhood without bumping into 1d4+1 skeleton warriors. It's a real pain.
8:44 had me dying, did not expect that lmao
That supermodel joke was hilarious, please keep those up
That "animation" in the intro was surprisingly well done
"fall has arrived"? it's still goddamn 32°C here!
'nyways, a sort of open claw-like hammer would really be a great thing if we're considering skeletons that you can dismantle, dead bone is hard and brittle so the concentrated impact by hitting them with a spike/claw can shatter the bone in mid-air or, if it doesn't happen, you would still fling away a couple of structural bones.
Maybe you could use the sword to cut the magic between the bones, or, even an arming sword like the one you had could probably break some vertebrae. Specially because there's no flesh in the way. Break some fingers so it cannot use a weapon. Now, things like rapiers would definitely be basically useless. Or only good for blocking attacks. Or improvised mace. Also helps that rapiers are not meant to cut.
.
Wouldn't an armor with more give better absorb the impact thus having less chance of denting?
Interesting information... great thoughts... bats, axes, pole arms...
One of your funniest videos in a while. Had me laughing at multiple points. I like these less serious speculations. I know you're always sarcastic, but it felt like you raised the bar this time. Good shit, Skall.
Thanks. :)
First a description of a fantasy many of us have had, and then skeletons acting like angry people XD this is one of your best videos.
I can't do a demonstration because i don't know any supermodels😂🤣
I love this channel.. listening to 'logic' while dealing with inconsequential hypotheticals is a nice break from the rest of the 'thoughtful' content I tend towards.
It's now October. Time to watch this!
Hey Skall, where'd you get that wicked cool jacket/coat?
"They probably wouldn't fight with finesse."
Ironically, a skeleton in DnD would probably be armed with a Finesse _Weapon_ (that is, a weapon with the "Finesse" property), allowing it to use its Dexterity score for to-hit and damage rolls, rather than Strength (the default for melee weapons that don't have Finesse). At least that's how it's done in 5th edition.
While we're on the subject, it's worth looking at the Skeleton stat block in DnD 5e, to sort of understand the logic the designers put on it.
They're physically weak - Strength 10 - so they get no modifier to Strength-based rolls (including to avoid being knocked down). Skeletons have no muscles, so that's logical. They have to rely on their 14 Dexterity for their attacks, limiting them to Finesse or ranged weapons. That's borne out in their default weapon selection, which are shortswords and short bows.
Armor Class is 13, with a parenthesis saying "armor scraps". Part of that AC obviously comes from the +2 Dex modifier, which means "scraps of armor" give an AC of 11 + Dex mod, which is only 1 better than having no armor at all. For reference, Armor Class works at the target number an opponent must meet or exceed on their to-hit roll; otherwise, they do no damage. In DnD 5e, damage is all or nothing.
Finally, Skeletons have Vulnerability to bludgeoning damage. Because of course they would. Although it's interesting that the designers went with giving skeletons Vulnerability to bludgeoning, while other damage types (besides Poison, to which they are immune; Poison always gets the shaft) do normal damage. As opposed to making skeletons take normal damage from bludgeoning, and be Resistant to piercing and slashing. Then again, skeletons are low CR (Challenge Rating) monsters, so it's reasonable that a starting level party could take them on without too much difficulty.
That's because 5e did it wrong. Look at old school rpg and the skeletons are strong and armed with shield and sword or shield and axe.
@@Bluecho4 Poison is pretty insane on most humanoids, the status effect sucks.
The skeletons in Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder were goddamn fast and nasty. The worst of all the rank and file troops in that game.
Hey Skall, ever thought about talking about the different types of pommels and hilt and their functionality?
For example how the colhona sword was used or about the cocked hat pommel sword, considered precusor of the longsword
Wow, sweet digs, Skall!
Here's another good one to talk about with October around the bend. How about an animated suit if armor. A suit if armor brought to life via magic, or possessed by a soul. How do you fight that? The whole thing is nothing but armor. Imagine how difficult it must be to fight just the armor with no one inside to kill to stop it from moving.
same issue with skeletons though...it'd be stupidly light weight. though if it was intelligent I guess it could fill itself with lots of heavy cloth or something to give it extra weight. also the rules of this particular magic has to be taken into consideration. depending on the system you could literally just say "pour some water on it and it'll scare the spirit away" though if you mean it just stays in the suit of armor indefinitely then I guess you'd just tear it apart piece by piece. at which case a poleaxe with a hammer head or the mace/club/bat shown in the video would do the trick.
Makes sense. Something to do with fire could work as well if the pieces are held together physically with say leather or rope. Unless the suit is magically put together then trying to break off pieces would work fairly well.
I would go with a pretty heavy haver. You can "amputate" limbs that way easy, or at least crush joins so badly they cant physically articular anymore.
hey mate where do you buy you outfits
So the lesson to be learned for every competent necromancer is to recruit some good blacksmith's and commision them to custom fit armor for the skeleton legions.
It whould also be way easyer to make armor for a skeleton:
1) A Skeleton does not care for comfort so padding can be minimalized
2) A Skeleton is 24/7 on duty so you dont need to account for getting out of the armor. Heck it can be screwed/welded/bolted directely to the bones.
3) You need less material to cover everything.
The editing is like... my god, just so god
Please review the talwar. The Indian sword. Cold steel makes one. Quite hard to find.
What is that shirt/jacket you're wearing? I want one!
This was really entertaining, i want more.
Hey Skallagrim if you see this, do you know if Cold Steel is a good brand? I've been thinking of buying a war hammer or mace from Amazon and that what was listed as the manufacturer.
