GM needs help with questions raised by making undead


Rules Questions

As stated, I'm currently creating an undead horde for my players to obliterate in an upcoming adventure, but the process has raised a few questions:

1) When a creatures rises as a skeleton or other undead does it retain the base creatures senses as well as gaining Darkvision or does it lose all of its base senses and only have Darkvision from that point forward? Example: Skeleton Bulette. Keep Tremorsense, Scent, and Low-Light Vision or lose all of the above?

2) Can a Skeleton be blinded via Dirty Trick or other means even though it has no eyes? I have a Rogue who likes to blind things at every opportunity via Improved Dirty Trick.

3) Just to make sure I'm doing it correctly, when it comes to AC for skeletons you drop the base creatures Nat Armor Bonus and replace it with the size dependent Nat Armor bonus on the table, correct? Example: Skeletal Bulette Nat Armor bonus changes from +12 to +3?

4) Do any of you know where I could find a Monster Generator that would do all of this work for me and put it into the correct Pathfinder format? I've found a few generators that say they do, but actually still use base creatures from the 3.5 Bestiary translated into the Pathfinder format instead of using the Pathfinder Bestiary. This is slightly problematic for me.
