Encountering Greater Bonewalker

Greater Bonewalkers are a stronger, sturdier cousins of their more common counterpart. Their magical might can cripple victims, stunting their physical capabilities outright rather than merely sapping them temporarily. Unlike the curses of the lesser Bonewalker, the greater Bonewalker’s curses are permanent until dispelled by a skilled healer. These foul undead are typically found guarding the tombs of particularly powerful or influential Dunmer houses, however those skilled in necromancy are known to summon them to serve their profane wills. Bonewolves are the reanimated skeletons of wolves. Beyond the obvious undead features Bonewolves are rather similar to their previous living forms, as such most strategies used in fighting wolves can be used against bonewolves as well.

• harvest and powder DoS doses of the bonewalker’s bonemeal,

• On a +0 Alchemy test over a Short Rest, a character can

• Uncommon Destruction ingredient. If the character fails
• this test, they instead contract Common Disease.
