- description: skulltaker taps into the memories of the creatures whose bones make
    up its body. This gives it the Skeletal Lore skill, which it can use to Recall
    Knowledge of any kind. In addition, it can speak and understand all the languages
    known by the creatures whose bones make up its body (typically including Common
    and the regional language of the skulltaker's home region). The skulltaker can
    use Skeletal Lore as the primary skill check for the legend lore ritual, and it
    can cast legend lore without secondary casters.

description: Swirling down from misty peaks and through howling mountain passes like
  an evil wind, the vortex of bones known as a skulltaker is a terrible manifestation
  of the delirium and agony experienced by doomed climbers and lost trailblazers just
  before they met their end. In some places, a skulltaker is also known as a saxra.

- description: Whenever a creature dies within 60 feet of a skulltaker, the skulltaker
    draws a portion of the creature's bones into its shard storm. The creature must
    succeed at a DC 40 Will save or rise as a *skeletal champion* in 1d4 rounds. These
    skeletal champions are controlled by the skulltaker.

- action_cost: One Action
  description: The skulltaker causes splintered bones to erupt from all solid surfaces
    in a 100-foot emanation, except for surfaces of worked stone. A creature moving
    through the bones takes 10 piercing damage and 10 negative damage for every 5
    feet of movement. The first time each round a creature takes piercing damage from
    these splintered bones, it must succeed at a Reflex save or take a –10-foot circumstance
    penalty to all Speeds for 10 minutes, or a –15-foot circumstance penalty for 24
    hours on a critical failure. The bones remain in place until the skulltaker uses
    this action again or the bones are manually removed, which takes 10 minutes for
    each 5-foot square.
