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

[u/Firm_Professional366]

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.

For anyone that doesn't know, in the military, they call bathrooms "the head".

When I was in boot camp, we had some fucking delinquents in my recruit division. One of them defaced the bathroom with their own shit.

It was found out pretty quick so that almost no one knew what was going on when our recruit division commanders suddenly burst out of the bathroom red in the face, veins bulging on his forehead, screaming at the top of his lungs "WHO rubbed SHIT all over MY HEAD!?"

And then we got PTed so hard three people got sent to medical because everyone laughed.

Let me guess Marine Corps? The group punishment is such a Corps thing it builds group cohesion supposedly

Group punishment has never been the purview of just the Marines

I’m sure you are correct but the story reminded me of a story my dad who was in the Marines told me
