Yep, literally had this happen only to have them cast speak with dead right after. Bunch of murder hobos.
Luckily the spell text of Speak With Dead states that if the corpse doesn't like you then it doesn't have to tell you shit. They're usually not too keen on having a pleasant conversation with their murderer. The party gets up to five questions to ask but the answer to all five of those questions could just be "Fuck you, I'm dead" and that's totally legal.
can you charm a departed spirit?
if you animate their corpse they'd be immune to mind affecting spells, but does their compulsion to obey their master extreme to providing information?
Animated undead, with a few very rare exceptions, don't contain the original soul or any of its knowledge. So no they wouldn't be able to tell you anything, unless you were conversing with something like a lich or a death knight.
As far as I know you also can't charm a corpse, or a disembodied spirit. You get the answers that you get. So if you're planning on killing a guy and questioning him afterward, make sure he doesn't know you're the one responsible.
So charm him first so he likes you when he dies
Now we're talkin
In BG3 if there's no interactions for the dead body the DM/Narrator simply says you hear no answer from the other side.
I fed them intentionally false information which they acted on. Wasted a whole session on a wild goose chase.
As my old mentor once said...
"He's monologuing; kill him."
can you give me the cliff notes version of all plot-relevant details? I need to finish looting this place and move on to the next dungeon
Vide?

French for vacuum in the scientific sense, same root as our "void." This is a very philosophical post about the chaos of emptiness.
French for "empty". No surprise that vacuum is covered by "empty".
Yeah I don't speak French. Lol.
Disclaimer These rules are copied directly from r/DnDMemes and will be adapted to Lemmy shortly.
Rule 1. Be Excellent to One Another: No trolling, harassment, personal attacks, sea-lioning, hate speech, slurs, or name-calling. Overly off-topic, political, or hateful debates will be removed, and bans may be issued based on severity. This includes both posts and comments. We reserve the right to remove content or comments that contain discrimination or distasteful content. Be kind and stay on topic.
Rule 2. No Reposts: Posts must not have been posted in !DnDMemes before. Reports with direct links to the original post will greatly expedite their removal process. Reposts from other subreddits are allowed, but once a meme is posted to !DnDMemes, it will forever after be considered a repost.
Rule 3. Post Style Guide: Posts must be strongly relevant to D&D (or other TTRPGs) and must include an attempt at humor or entertainment. Posts must be legible, understandable for a general audience and have some effort put into them, including titles. Video posts may be up to 3 minutes long, and they must be humorous in nature. Only one meme is allowed per post; posts with multiple images inside of them, such as a collage, will be removed. Posts must not rely solely on the title to relate to D&D.
Rule 4. No Advertising: Meme culture is non-profit. No links to stores, fundraising/payment sites, or comments asking for money/followers. Social media handles or website watermarks on original content are acceptable, unless these are monetized, and self promotion of one’s own social media should be limited to once per week. Accounts whose sole purpose are to push products, whether legitimately or fraudulently, will be permanently banned and their content removed.
Rule 5. No Piracy: Do not share or request pirated content. No linking, hinting at, or naming hosts of illicit non-SRD D&D content. You are allowed to copy-paste relevant rules or sections from sources, but large blocks of text may be removed.
Rule 6. No Beating a Dead Horse: Moderators may step in to issue a 3 month prohibition on certain meme topics and formats. The requirements for placing a topic on hiatus are 1. The topic has been prominent on the front page for at least 3 days or 2. The debate topic is toxic in nature. Certain historically overdone themes or formats may be retired permanently at moderator discretion/per user poll. Please see the current list.
The rules listed above are not exhaustive and decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. Such decisions can be appealed in mod mail, and the mods will do their best to come to a productive resolution. All "borderline" mod decisions are the product of informed and objective internal discussion. We welcome feedback on our rules and are always seeking to improve them for better clarity and creating a friendly, social environment here at !DnDMemes.
