descr: "You grant the target corpse a semblance of life, which it uses to speak the\
|
|
\ answers to three questions posed to it. This spell calls on the physical body's\
|
|
\ latent memories rather than summoning back the deceased's spirit, so the corpse\
|
|
\ must be mostly intact for the spell to function. The more damage the corpse has\
|
|
\ taken, the more inaccurate or patchwork its answers are, and it must have a throat\
|
|
\ and mouth to speak at all. If anyone has previously cast this spell on the corpse\
|
|
\ in the last week, the spell automatically fails. The corpse can attempt a Will\
|
|
\ save to resist answering the questions using the statistics of the original creature\
|
|
\ at its time of death, with the following effects. \n\n**Critical Success** The\
|
|
\ target can lie or refuse to answer your questions, and the target's spirit haunts\
|
|
\ you for 24 hours, bothering you and causing you to be unable to gain any rest\
|
|
\ for that time. \n\n**Success** The target can provide false information or refuse\
|
|
\ to answer your questions. \n\n**Failure** The target must answer truthfully,\
|
|
\ but its answers can be brief, cryptic, and repetitive. It can still mislead you\
|
|
\ or attempt to stall so that the spell's duration runs out before you can ask all\
|
|
\ your questions. \n\n**Critical Failure** As failure, but the target's answers\
|
|
\ are more direct and less repetitive, though still cryptic. It takes a -2 status\
|
|
\ penalty to Deception checks to deceive or mislead you."
