DESIGN NOTES:

Spoiler Alert!

Just wanted to create a huge boss monster. I had previously been too attached to the idea of this thing being a hoard-style raid boss for the smaller tomb skeletons but I think I was too in love with that idea. I decided to make some abilities that emphasized it's immense size as an undead creature.

Wild Swing is exactly as we see from Jotun, it may need to be paired down to an attack roll of 3, unsure as of yet. Long Strides is the same as what Breach has, I find that to be an interesting ability that should fit a skeleton titan as it moves to intercept an important target and ignores the tiny creatures around its feet. Aura of Despair is just some good Valkrill tech, I think it fits here because fighting a giant skeleton should be a bit demoralizing for all but the most heroic adventurers. Even dragons and the like should be in a bit of a panic because of the size of this monstrosity.

The stats are better than they look and I have to keep remembering that, Aura of Despair pumps them up quite a bit but this guy does get kited and die to range without much of a problem.

Comments and ideas welcome! Poe is a giant skeleton, nothing too special but makes a great boss monster for any scenarios or dungeon crawl style playing that you might do. Can utterly smash a single target, thrash a group of squaddies that have decided to surround him or step over them to get to something more interesting. Definitely a boss monster and Aura of Despair helps him to keep the board in check.
