[QUOTE="arwink, post: 1061593, member: 2292"] I'd equip them with archaic arms and armor, as well as out of date regalia related to the god that they follow. On a surface level, in terms of things that are immediately useful, this doesn't mean much but it's a definate case of one man's trash is another treasure. The holy symbols and robes may well be preserved in pristine condition in the crypt, making them valuable to scholars of religion, and the archaic armor may well be worth money to a collector or museum is such is appropriate to their world. I'd create some enchanted holy symbols that bond with the owners, symbols that enhance the clerics turning ability (and hence the bolstering ability of the evil ghost clerics), as well as some minor spells. I'd take ordinary items, +1 swords and such, that are twisted and perverted by the undead nature of their weilders, giving negative energy damage on top of the ordinary. Given the Yuan-ti theme, I'd include a lot of spectral serpent effects to the weapons. An arrow or crossbow bolt that is surrounded by a ghostly serpent when its fired, possibly delivering an ethereal bite that slowly turns the weilder into a translucent whisp of his former self if the poison takes hold.
