Re: queries about Scrying
Scrying targets a creature, not a person. Undead is a type of creature.
As for the dead body thing, that's a good question as I've never had to personally encounter it before. A body has no will save so is therefor technically an unattended, nonmagical object which scrying doesn't target.
But RAW doesn't always make sense so people just handwave that scrying also works on dead "creatures."

Re: queries about Scrying
It doesn't work on objects, since the spell says it works on creatures. It might work on animated objects, though.
I'm sure it would work on a deceased person's body...they just wouldn't be allowed a Will save.
I'm pretty sure it works on undead, too, because the spell says creature, not person. Anyways, even if it was person, you'd only have to decide whether or not an undead person was still a person.Homebrew
Please feel free to PM me any thoughts on my homebrew (or comment in the thread if it's not too old).
