06-22-04, 12:21 PM Just a question on how a would claculate my clerics turning. I am CE, so it would be rebuke and command.

If i have created a charater from savage species, with 6 HD, and an ECL of 8, and I have 10 cleric Levels, would i calculate my turning powers (such as number of HD of Undead turned, or how oftian, ect) as 10 or 16? The PHB is a little unclear, as it states only "equal to the number of her levels".

Any information of a clerics turning wuold be useful, as i have played for roughly 10 years, and this is my first cleric....never really liked them before.

Turning Damage: If your roll on Table: Turning Undead is high enough to let you turn at least some of the undead within 60 feet, roll 2d6 + your cleric level + your Charisma modifier for turning damage. That’s how many total Hit Dice of undead you can turn."

Its Cleric Level so 10. Most (but by no means all) class abilities operate of the class level rather than the character level.
