I'm not bothered with Mind BLast affecting Undeads, but what always bothered me is that they get afflictions : how come a skeleton with only eyesocks could "lose an eye" or be weakened by a "chest wound" ?

Well, if I'd have to guess... maybe the function of organs in dead have some resemblance to their former functions when living. Like the eyesocket has the essence of eye, enabling undead to see until the socket as a whole is smashed? Chest, where the heart used to be, is a conduit of energy that keeps the undead moving (alike 'vitae' in WoD vampires) and smashing the ribcage hinders that flow? A bit, what is it called, homeopathic feel in that explanation, tho...

Those which are mindless are completely controlled by magic therefor do not need magical organs. Ghouls, on the other hand, are not completely controlled by magic.
