Bone bearer buff

[BB Azurite]

What if the bone bearer had the ability to promote the other skeletons in his group. I suggest this because a lot of people consider him the weakest of the four and I understand why, the ruins is already the easiest area and not being able to kill his teammates isn't very threatening when those teammates are bone rabbles.

I was thinking something like from:
Swordsman to Spearman
Bone rabble to any other type of skeleton excluding the commander
Cultists brawler and acolyte to their darkest dungeon ascended versions.

without healing them and istead of the single target buff? Sure, why not.

Hmm, I dunno about direct promotions, as he would be changing their entire appearance, which would be kinda weird. But he certainly needs a buff.

I think healing his teammates, being able to summon new skelemen should another skeleton not leave a corpse, and perhaps a stress attack just for the heck of it would be great.

Boner Bearer almost never spawns with any stress-inducing enemy, so having him induce the stress with his trumpet tooting would be a good solution.

Him healing his teammates wouldn''t be very impactful, since in most cases you would be focussing all your damage on him anyway.

Summoning a new skeleton every turn there's a open space would be good but in most cases you would be killing him first so it might not see that much use.

A stress attack would be okay but honestly just another stress attack would be kinda lame/standard. The Squiffy ghast is intended to inflict huge stress damage on your heroes, while the Bone bearer is suppose to be a support making his teammates more threatening and keeping them "alive". But in practice you focus fire the Bearer and stun his teamates until the Bearer is dead so all his buffs are useless. I feel like he should be able to have some kind of permanent impact on the fight.

Add a forced guard onto his Wicked Surge ability.
