kind of a gross question but want to know.

[Yqatuba]

The spell resurrection says you only need a small part of the deceased's body to cast. If someone gets eaten by a monster and then pooped out would the poop count as a part of them? I would say yes since it's made out of their body material.

[Speaker for the Dead]

Only if you have a way to separate your friend from all the other poor saps the monster devoured.

[Java Man]

If your friend was eaten there is a good chance they bled on the floor.

[Grandis]

I'd argue no, since it wants you to have a whole piece. Mulch doesn't really count.

[blahpers]

Even the fine dust left after a disintegrate spell is enough. The undigested bits of Thargor Thunderthews should be fine.

[Lucy_Valentine]

Did it digest the teeth and bones also? Seems unlikely, teeth are really hard to destroy.

[Pizza Lord]

You would definitely need an undigested part. While disintegrate dust is permissible, I think that means it's still all in a pile. I wouldn't allow it to be cast on a cup of tea you brewed them into.

Now to bypass the 1 minute cast time and resurrect the PC's dragonhide armor and see how that creature feels about the character.

[Theconiel]

If you find, say, an undigested tooth, hope it's the right one.

[Yqatuba]

Couldn't you just have the spell target whatever part of the bowel movement is made from the character's remains?

Of course now I have the image of an exasperated cleric sitting beside a big steaming pile of s%#$ for days casting Resurrection on it with an ever larger group of strangers thanking him for resurrecting them.
