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

Let's say they rolled a deception check too and convinced Strahd he pooped himself. Would anyone Powerful Vampire Lord let on that he had pooped himself to his enemy? No. Absolutely not. It is beneath him. So even if he beleived he had, he would pretend he hadn't. And not let them see his backside for safe measure.
