I have a player in one of my games who wants to use cure light wounds on a body to heal the visible wounds so that the friends of the deceased aren't upset by what they see.
Flavor wise/ coolness factor i'm good with it but does the use of say, cure light wounds in this way step on the toes of some other spell?
Anyone see any possible pitfalls?
Thanks for any replies.
Can't be done. CLW (et al) target creatures. Once you're dead, you're not a creature, you're an object. Invalid target.
Ideally if its an object you could repair it with mending. That said, if they're willing to burn a spell may as well allow it if only for coolness. Can't see it destroying the game or causing the end of the world.
Thanks for the quick responses.
Zhayne, MrSin, I appreciate your quick responses.
I'm going with it. For coolness.
If in some way this somehow becomes a problem I'll mention the target creatures/object ruling.
thanks again you've been a great help. Paizo community for the win!!
The Restore Corpse spell might also be what you're looking for.
I'd allow it. Nice to see someone actually going for flavor over min/max cheese on the boards.

Thanks for insulting a good number of the board with an insinuation? Worse, it wasn't even related to the topic.
It's definitely against the rules, but I'd allow it. And probably a lot of other spells to fix up the corpse so it wasn't so visibly damaged.
Something like this to merely fix the appearance of a corpse isn't going to be a big deal (as far as I can tell).

It wasn't meant as an insult to anyone, but as a complement to the OP's player. If anyone did take it as an insult, then I apologize for the misunderstanding.
