Armor on Monstes: e.g. Zombies, Ghouls,

There's no rule prohibiting the armoring of skeletons, zombies, ghouls, etc. is there? Do they get a benefit from wearing the armor? ARe they considered to have the appropriate feats?

IIRC they are considered unproficient with the armor, and therefore take penalties, as well as gain advantages.

The skeleton template from the WotC site actually lets them remember and keep some of their proficiencies, so you could probably use that, or make a simliar one for zombies.

They 'remember?' Hmm. I'll have to check it out. It seems to me that would make them not 'mindless' undead Might be more interesting to throw skeletons at the PC's then!
