How to Speak with Dead

[Rhunny]

Hey everyone! I was wondering if there's any way, ruleswise, to communicate with the dead... without being a spellcaster with the Speak with Dead spell. I'm talking about domain powers, hexes, other spells, etc.

Let's see what you can come up with

[Jack of Dust]

The Medium can communicate with the dead via their Location Channel ability which duplicates the Call Spirit spell. Apart from that, the only other option I'm familiar with is by reanimating or resurrecting the person to speak with them. The latter is of course, expensive and impractical.

Ancestor oracles have a revelation that'll let you do it for your oracle level in rounds per say.

[Kalindlara]

Look up the grave candle. ^_^

Really great feedback, everyone!

[Goth Guru]

The Seance ritual(homebrew) lets the leader of the seance become temporarily possessed by the chosen spirit and answer questions.

Go to Rituals.

Example 3: Seance. The recipient gets a speak with dead, using the medium to speak for the dead.
Cost: 1500 GP of consumables. The medium charges at least double.
Success: Minimum 3 questions. More if the medium has more than 5 levels.
Failure: Very bad. The spirit becomes an incorporeal undead. Possibly a ghost or poltergeist. A ghost will usually possess a weak willed target and seek revenge.
