[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 1730876, member: 18280"] I would hate for the point to get lost: the question is not, is it okay to allow [I]speak with dead[/I] to make a skeleton speak vocally, but rather, is it okay to restrict a skeleton to speaking nonverbally when affected by [I]sepak with dead[/I]? I don't think anyone on this thread, DM-Rocco included, would claim that the DM could [B][I]not[/I][/B] allow the skeleton to speak vocally, if the DM so ruled from the spell description. The question was simply, if the DM ruled not, is this somehow wrong? I believe that the answer is clearly a resounding [I][B]no[/B][/I]. Based upon the description of the spell, who determines how the spell works? The DM or the player casting the spell? Should the DM revise his ruling because the players started whining when he made it? Anything else is irrelevent to the original question. [/QUOTE]
