[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 2316166, member: 31734"] As glass points out, a corpse is an object, not a creature and thus not a legal target for a scry. Your spell would fail and you would know that. You also know when your spell fails due to someone saving against it. So, if you scry someone you will know if they are alive or dead, if you make the assumption that the spell failing means they are dead (note that they could be within a private sanctum, protected by a mind blank, or other means of blocking a scry). Just a word of caution, that if you allow scry to work on objects you are significantly improved the power of the spell. If a metaphysical lean towards the definition of creature works in your campaign, go for it. It sounds kinda neat to me, but per the core rules it would not work. :) [/QUOTE]
