Yes, but if the skeleton is capable of fighting me, who's to say what kind of magic or superpowers it has? I mean, a fighting skeleton still seems like it could be anyone's guess as to who's going to win...

In D&D rules they're only 1/4 cr monsters so one level 1 adventurer could in theory take them on 1v1 and come out on top more often then not.

Unless this is your skeleton, in which case hopefully the skeleton's alignment is closer to neutral good than neutral evil.

skeletons are scary there. can you imagine going around a dark corner in a museum, killing a skeleton and after collapsing and you commemorate your victory, ITS BONES FUCKING EXPLODE?!?!

edit: i accidentally wrote "it is bones fucking explode" instead of "its bones fucking explode"
