Would love to see this ability updated to allow the priest to choose between controlling and destroying the target via an addition to the command string.
Example: turn zombie destroy OR turn zombie control.
Thoughts?

Re: [Skill] Turn Undead
Neutral Priests should be able to choose which one they'd rather be able to do.
As a whole, I don't think you should be able to flip between the two. Goodies should be able attempt to Turn Undead with destructive abilities to the undead. Evils should be able to attempt to control them with Turn Undead.

And why should evils not want to destroy undead now and then?Selveem wrote:Neutral Priests should be able to choose which one they'd rather be able to do.

Can use Heal spells instead.
It's how it works in regular D&D.

Any cleric, regardless of alignment, has the power to affect undead creatures by channeling the power of his faith through his holy (or unholy) symbol (see Turn or Rebuke Undead).
A good cleric (or a neutral cleric who worships a good deity) can turn or destroy undead creatures. An evil cleric (or a neutral cleric who worships an evil deity) instead rebukes or commands such creatures. A neutral cleric of a neutral deity must choose whether his turning ability functions as that of a good cleric or an evil cleric. Once this choice is made, it cannot be reversed. This decision also determines whether the cleric can cast spontaneous cure or inflict spells.
A cleric may attempt to turn undead a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier. A cleric with 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (religion) gets a +2 bonus on turning checks against undead.

Fair enough. It was just an idea to get more use out an under-used ability. No harm in thinking outloud.Selveem wrote:Can use Heal spells instead.
