Can Paladins raise the dead?
Raise dead is a 5th level spell, which means a full caster won’t have access until 9th level. Bards, clerics and paladins all get access to raise dead, but the paladin won’t be able to cast it until 17th level. Raise dead can be cast within 10 days of a character’s death, so a PC doesn’t have to prepare it every day.

It brings evil into the world where before there was not evil. Therefore, just casting the spell Animate Dead is itself an evil act.

Does speak with dead work on skeletons?
I rule “yes, the skeleton can speak” on this issue. The spell does say “you can cast this spell on a corpse that has been deceased for any amount of time”. If corpses reduced to a skeleton could by their nature not speak, one would think that would present a hard limitation on the spell.
Can Animated Dead cast spells?
Nope, as per the text of the spell you can only maintain control over your minions by casting this spell every 24 hours. You cannot return later and reassert control with Animate Dead. Can you control 4 undead total or 8? With two 3rd level spell slots you can create two undead.
