Speak with Dead Limits

The Concern

Is a skeleton a valid target for Speak with Dead (DnD Beyond)?

Details

RAW Speak with Dead (DnD Beyond): "The corpse must still have a mouth and can't be undead."

Ruling

As RAW - As of Session 39, it has been determined that some flesh must remain on the corpse for Speak with Dead (DnD Beyond) to function. Skeletons were deemed too far gone for this to be effective, but it is explicitly not the case that full arrangement of mouthparts need to be present. This will almost certainly need finer tuning as the use of this spell comes up, but for the moment the actual dividing line is not clear.
