I have, up until now had a host of various monster skeletons. What I would like to do, in order to fill up my HD limit is to have a few Awakened undead lieutenants with class levels, rather than a skeletal horde.  I would like to give them levels in some low tier classes that have caught my eye, that way I can play those and not outshine the rest of my party. My particular preferences are Ninja and Warlock (no PrCs or anything else, just those classes). The main barrier to doing this is that for flavor reasons I would like to make them Human Skeletons and those tend to be worse than various monsters because of the lack of Ex abilities. My DM won't allow me to roll ability scores for them, in spite of the fact that monsters I can get by RAW would be more powerful.  So I would like to find a way to give the skeletons better WIS or CHA scores in a way that exists within WotC published material. Thank you.</blockquote>
