is there a skeleton template published by Wizard for 5E? Have a hankering for a skeletal hill giantNo template per se, but easy to improvise – give it skeleton’s damage resistance, -2 Str, -4 Con, +4 Dex, and voila.

I’m actually kind of curious why templates haven’t really been re-introduced in 5E yet. They’re super useful.
