'Caustic Skeleton' is an inherited template that can be added to any Skeleton, hereafter referred to as the base creature.
| Picture =

A Caustic Skeleton uses all of the base creature's statistics and abilities except as noted below.
| Description=<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|Description}}}
| Description| '''Caustic Creature''' is a pattern that adds a corrosive aura to a creature. Whether they sweat acid, emit clouds of caustic spores,  are covered with bursting acidic blisters across their skin, have flakes of pepper sprinkled on their weapons, or acidic pickled marrow squirting from their bile-soaked bones. Caustic Creatures are tough to battle from up close, and can give your melee players plenty of challenges to deal with!

}}</onlyinclude>


'''Aura:''' Once per round, when it makes any attack action, a Caustic Skeleton emits a fine spray of corrosive marrow from it's bile-soaked bones.  This is an acidic damage aura that effects all enemy creatures within CR/10 (round down, minimum 1) of the Caustic Skeleton's space. This damage aura inflicts 2d6+CR of acid damage.  Affected characters may roll a CR appropriate Fort save for half damage.

Not just anybody can do this, you know. Well, okay, they can if they have this pattern. But otherwise...

Caustic Creature Pattern (+1 CR)

Subtype: add Caustic to subtypes


Caustic Creature is a pattern that adds a corrosive aura to a creature. Whether they sweat acid, emit clouds of caustic spores, are covered with bursting acidic blisters across their skin, have flakes of pepper sprinkled on their weapons, or acidic pickled marrow squirting from their bile-soaked bones. Caustic Creatures are tough to battle from up close, and can give your melee players plenty of challenges to deal with!

This creature seems dangerous to approach due to the caustic substances around it.

Acidic Aura (Ex; Caustic Creature Pattern)

Up to once per round, after it performs an attack action, a Caustic Creature emits a fine spray of corrosive material as an aura surrounding it. This is an acidic damage aura that effects all enemy creatures within 1 squares of the Caustic Creature's space. This damage aura inflicts 1d3 points of acid (energy, common) damage. Affected creatures may make a Fortitude save against a DC of 14 in order to take half damage.
