Interrogation, Torture, and You

[Mith]

In 5th edition, Speak with Dead doesn't force the dead creature to speak, nor to tell the truth.

"the corpse is under no compulsion to offer a truthful answer if you are hostile to it or it recognizes you as an enemy."

The spell is almost useless in "torture" / "enemy interrogation" scenarios now.

I have always liked the threat of "If you don't cooperate, I can always talk to your corpse."

Personally, I may do the old "Hostile spirits speak in riddles." It gives a better chance of getting information if properly done.
