Yeah but I have a friendly cleric. Zone of Truth doesn't care about how you feel regarding your interrogation.
Zone of truth removes the need for torture. You can interrogate someone without causing physical or psychological harm.
Who says we torture because we need to?
They do still have the option to remain silent, though, as per the spell text. It doesn't compel an answer, it only compels any spoken word to be the truth as you know it.
Speak with dead + zone of truth, I now have an incentive to kill you if you don't cooperate
Yeah, sure, but where’s the fun in that?
Pulls out skinning knife.
You don't torture for the truth, though... causing physical and psychological harm is the whole point.
