<span style="color:red">Updates to this page are pending.</span>


__TOC__


'''Type of feat''': [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Class_feat class]<br/>
'''Prerequisite''': [[Cleric]] 1, [[Paladin]] 3, [[Blackguard]] 3 <br/>
'''Required for:''' [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Divine_might divine might], [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Divine_shield divine shield], [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Extra_turning extra turning] <br/>

'''Specifics''': With this feat, the character can inflict a number of effects (see below) on the affected targets. This ability may be actived three times, plus the character's charisma modifier. It replenishes a single activation every 10-11.5 minutes. Refreshes sequentially, once one cool down is complete the next replenishment will begin automatically. The character's relevent class levels (see below) and charisma are used to determine how many undead are turned.

'''Use''': Selected. <!--If the character has twice as many levels as the undead have hit dice, the undead are instantly destroyed.-->

* '''Command''':
: Turns target into a henchman, wanders off if removed from party.
* '''Damage''':
: Very specific domain interactions with certain targets will result in damaging the turned creatures.
* '''Destroy''':
: Target is destroyed
* '''Fear''':
: Applies 50% Spell Failure and -10 malus to AB, AC, saves, and skills.
* '''Neutralize''':
: Target turns neutral and wanders off.
:: Works for matching character and target alignments
::: '''Example:''' a Good aligned [[Good Domain]] [[Cleric]] turning a celestial, an evil aligned [[Evil Domain]] [[Cleric]] turning a fiend, or a neutral aligned [[Animal Domain|Animal]]/[[Plant Domain|Plant]] [[Cleric]] turning a neutral animal
* '''Rebuke''':
: Target is stunned.

'''Note''': All of the above effects are automatically calculated and applied. Players only need to use on the [[Turn Undead]] feat.
All [[Category:Cleric_domains|Domains]] can Neutralize, Destroy, Rebuke, or Fear the affected creatures (T), but only a select few [[Category:Cleric_domains|Domains]] can Command (C) or Damage (X) certain creatures (see below).

== Notes ==

* The affected area has a radius of 20 [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Meter meter]s, centered on the turner. Creatures are affected from nearest to furthest, with friendly creatures exempt. Creatures must be seen to be affected.
* The total hit dice of all affected creatures is limited to 2d6 plus the turner's charisma modifier and level. This is increased by another d6 if the caster has the [[Sun Domain]].
* The duration of the forced flight or awe is 5 [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/round round]s, plus one round per the turner's level. If the turned target is a Player Character, the duration is 5 rounds, plus one round per 7 turner's applicable levels.
* The "level" used by this feat for all purposes listed so far (total hit dice affected, destroying instead of turning, and duration) is the turner's [[Cleric]] level plus the higher of [[Paladin]] level&minus;2 and [[Blackguard]] level&minus;2) if either is positive.
* For the purpose of determining the highest level (hit dice) creature that can be turned, the turner's level is modified (from &minus;4 to +4 or higher) by a turn check, and no creature with more hit dice than the modified level can be turned. The turn check is a die roll: d20 + charisma modifier.
* Arelith Change: The modifier can go beyond +4 if the turner has sufficient charisma modifier and roll. For every 3 above 21 on turn check, the HD is added by 1.
:'''Example''': A 24 base Charisma turner with maximized charisma bonus of +12 and a die roll of 20 can get up to +7 for the HD modifier.

* Creatures with [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Turn_resistance turn resistance] add this to their actual hit dice both when determining if they can be turned and when totaling the number of hit dice turned so far.
* Whether or not a creature is affected by ''turn undead'' is determined by that creature's [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Race racial type] (which can change under the influence of a [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Polymorph polymorph], with [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Undead_shape undead shape] being of particular note). Undead are always affected (unless friendly), while additional races may be affected based on clerical [[Category:Cleric_domains|domain]]s and the [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Planar_turning planar turning] feat.
<!--
** [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Construct Construct]s can be affected (damaged, not turned) via the [[Destruction Domain]].
** [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Elemental Elemental]s can be turned via the [[Air Domain|Air]], [[Earth Domain|Earth]], [[Fire Domain|Fire]], and [[Water Domain|Water]] Domains.
** [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Outsider Outsider]s can be turned via the [[Good Domain|Good]] and [[Evil Domain|Evil]] Fomains, or via the [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Planar_turning Planar Turning] feat.
** [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Vermin Vermin] can be turned via the [[Plant Domain]].
-->
* An affected creature cannot be cured with the [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Restoration Restoration] or [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Clarity Mind Protection] lines of spells. However, the effect may be [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Dispel dispelled], with the turner's hit dice as the effective caster level of the turn effect.
* Outsiders get a bonus to their turn resistance equal to their [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Spell_resistance spell resistance], unless the turner has ''[https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Planar_turning Planar Turning]'' in which case the bonus is half that amount. The spell-resistance-based turn resistance stacks with any normal turn resistance the outsider may have.
* Spell penetration feats do not add anything to turning.
* Constructs, if affected by a turning attempt, are not forced to flee, nor are they destroyed if the turner's level is twice theirs. Instead, constructs receive 1d3 points of [https://nwn.fandom.com/wiki/Magical_damage Magical Damage] per the modified level used to determine the highest level creature that can be turned.
