Buffed Skeletons
This mod doubles the health on all skeleton limbs and increases the rate at which skeletons gain strength. If skeletons are not sneaky, and they have been around for a long time than they should be hardy and powerful. This mod makes that a reality. As requested, I have also opened up the helmet and boots slots for player skeletons.
There is also a custom start in this mod where you start with a, you guessed it, skeleton. Mid range stats, the same starting tech as the freedom seekers start, decent gear and a skeleton smith falling sun. I have tested it and you can solo a group of starving bandits while still sustaining a lot of damage. So I would not consider this start as too OP.
This mod, with or without using the custom start, should help skeletons be viable as late game characters, and should make their max hp drain less of a constant concern.
This mod will not work with other mods that change skeletons.
