[QUOTE="werk, post: 2246870, member: 29663"] Hyp convinced me so hard I think the dead could play charades... "ok, first syllable, sounds like...bone! oh, right! sounds like leg!" Wait, the spell description says "The partially animated body" Now I'm back to my original position. No movement except for speaking-type movement (mouth area). Sorry for not having a rock-solid opinion on this. :( I think better while typing. I want to go with the 'intent' of the spell or caster, but the description text is really making it hard for me to believe that's the way they wanted the spell to be used...I mean, why have that: "but the body must be mostly intact to be able to respond. A damaged corpse may be able to give partial answers or partially correct answers, but it must at least have a mouth in order to speak at all. " text in there at all if you want it to work properly most of the time? If they had left that out, I'd be on-board. Speak with Dead is lvl 3, same as Animate Dead, so I'd say there is enough magic power to fully animate the skeleton for the duration, but the text gets in the way, for me. [/QUOTE]
