Okay, this happened in an adventure I was running and I was wondering if anyone knew of an official rule I missed somewhere.
The party is investigating the disapprearance of a cleric. The cleric had been killed and animated as an undead. When the party scrys for the cleric, does it succeed and show the undead creature or does it fail as the cleric is dead.
I ruled it worked mostly because the party needed the extra clue at the time, and I didn't want to stifle them after finally using divinations. Also scrying specifies "creature", and undead are "creatures" in that sense of the word. I guess the question is if the undead creature is considered the same creature as the living being.
