SPECIAL ABILITIES

Command Skeletons (Su)

A dread skeleton can command all normal skeletons within 30 feet as a free action. Normal skeletons never attack a dread skeleton unless compelled.

Unnatural Aura (Su)

Any animal within 30 feet of a dread skeleton becomes panicked and remains so until the distance between it and the dread skeleton is at least 30 feet. An animal can attempt a DC 12 Will save to resist panic for one round. The save DC is Charisma-based.
