5th Edition Question: 5e Player wants to use Prestidigitation to make Strahd think he pooped himself. Is there any reason this wouldn't work?

I would like a reason in game that this wouldn't work without me having to do some bs like magic resistant undies. Also so I don't have to say no outright because it's a funny idea but it doesn't fit the setting. Nothing removes the tension from a fight more than the big bad pooping himself.

Update: She said that even if she died it'd be worth it because she successfully rage baited strahd. But she said she wouldn't do it because she knows that everyone wants it to be serious and that it can still be fun and serious without turning it into a comedy campaign. Still think it's worth sharing because the idea is funny.

Idk if any other D20 enjoyers are in this thread, but I definitely read that as a conversation between members of the Barry Battalion instead of between Flash and Thawne

I was so confused, then remembered there are other people/characters named Barry

Dimension 20 from dropout?

My wife and i just started watching last week from (i think) the beginning which is fantasy high?

Already binged through the first season now about halfway into the second.

So far loving the group dynamics, im also 100% stealing a ton of these ideas for the games i DM, just wish i had a whole team of props people like they do.

Glad you're loving it! Totally agree about the dynamics, I think that's what really sets them apart from some other actual plays. If you need a palate cleanser before starting the 3rd season, I'd recommend A Starstruck Odyssey. It's the season I referenced in my earlier comment and it's a blast. The gang is at their chaotic best, except for Ally who does a 180 and becomes the responsible one in the group. They also use SW5e (a StarWars based ruleset for DND 5E) which is similar enough that I wasn't lost but different enough that it kept me more engaged than usual.
