Another old shitpost I don’t think I posted anywhere.

    I’d say sure. It’s not like the wolf statblock is crazy different from regular skeleton stats; it wouldn’t be game breaking or anything.

    RAW on Animated Dead doesn’t strictly limit the size of the creature when it’s a pile of bones, but I think keeping it to small/medium creatures is reasonable.

      D&D 5e does, not sure about other editions or other game systems off the top of my head.

      Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Medium or Small Humanoid within range.

        Well, that depends on how you group the statements.

        Choose (a pile of bones) or (a corpse of a Medium or Small Humanoid) within range.

        OR

        Choose (a pile of bones) or (a corpse) of a Medium or Small Humanoid within range.

        Though I suppose also:

        Choose (a pile of bones) or (a corpse of a Medium or Small Humanoid within range).

        Which would mean the bones version has unlimited range.

        Yes, I am a programmer, why do you ask?
