OK, well, if a zombie/skeleton can use a weapon its creator knows there'll
be an awful lot of staff-wielding ones about the place :).
I like the idea that they use clubs, and that maybe theres a IQ 20+ spell
(and a ring!) which gives them a new improvement:
Undead Battle Mastery
-gives them (roll twice)

2: tactics
3: bow
4: crossbow
5:sword
6:axe/mace
7:pole weapons
8:shield
9:missile weapons (only if 3 or 4 rolled already, otherwise roll again)
10: thrown weapons
11: 2 weapons
12: fencing

And makes them Corpse Warriors (Zombies) or Bone Warriors (skeletons)

PS: Create Vorodlo - IQ 21, 5 fresh corpses and IQ 25, Vorodlo loses 1ST/day
as a zombie?
