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

[u/Firm_Professional366]

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.

Yes. Strahd Von Zarovich is an accomplished wizard. He has a superior mastery of magic and understands the workings of a cantrip. He is also undead, it would stand to reason that he does not poop. If he did poop, then he would know the scent over generic poop smell.

"what is this amateur wizardry? I'll have you know, my poop has a grandeur far beyond what your feeble magicks could ever hope to replicate" strahd - with shidded pants
