My guess is this:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Severed parts that are not reattached wither and die normally.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>If you hack it up into small enough pieces, then maybe they all wither and die. Not sure though, particularly regarding crit-immune creatures such as plants. I mean, you could argue that chopping the heart into seven pieces and the brain into nineteen should mean that every individual piece of heart and brain is sufficiently cut off to die, thus leaving the creature "dead enough" (bringing in the forbidden real world would then cause the body to die from lack of brain activity as well as all the cells dying from suffocation as blood isn't there to carry oxygen to them), but an ooze or plant lacks those things to begin with.
