turning undead
Okay, this seems to be evading me, or perhaps I'm looking for something that's not there. Is there a limit on how many times per day a cleric can turn undead, or
is there no limit?
Thanks!
is there no limit?
Thanks!
Re: turning undead
There's no limit, but the cleric can only try to turn one type of undead per round. If the attempt fails, no further attempts can be made on that particular group of undead for 24 hours.captcorajus wrote:Okay, this seems to be evading me, or perhaps I'm looking for something that's not there.

Yup, okay, that's the way I read it. Returning to C&C after a 2 year hiatus, and my head needs a refresher course! lol. Thanks!!

To add to what maximus said, you can also choose which type (in a mixed group) of undead you want to turn first. Then there's additional rules for how many are turned, whether or not they're destroyed, etc., all of which can be found on page 180 of the newest printing.

Re: turning undead
Really, for some reason I thought it was lower level undead turned first, then you had to work your way up the ladder to the higher level undead ... As I'm running a cleric for the first time in years, I like your way better than my misreading/remembering of it !Lord Dynel wrote:

Re: turning undead
Thanks everyone! Yeah, I really love C&C but there are some minor things I like about 5E I'm incorporating into my house rules. But, yeah, I like the Turning Undead rules 'As is', as I do MOST of C&C. Sooo easy to run!

Re: turning undead
Yeah Lurker, I forgot that, too, at first. I had actually just reread that section a few days before my post; I hadn't remembered about choosing, either. But the little example box on page 180 made it pretty clear. I actually like that little bit of strategy it gives the cleric.Lurker wrote:Really, for some reason I thought it was lower level undead turned first, then you had to work your way up the ladder to the higher level undead ...
