Description

You ask the corpse of an intelligent creature questions and receive answers. The corpse knows what the creature knew in life, what has occurred near the corpse, and no more; the spirit has (usually) moved on to another plane and is not present in the body.
Your Religion check result determines the number of questions you can ask.

At the DM’s option, questioning the departed spirit might require a skill challenge using Diplomacy.
