Witch 08-09-07, 08:35 AM	Does it say they can't attack? :)
Windbit 08-09-07, 10:01 AM	No, but I was under the assumption that turned undead don't attack either. If turning causes undead to run away, and rebuking just gives you a +2 to attack rolls against rebuked undead, then to me it seems that good clerics have a slight advantage.
Kouk 08-09-07, 10:08 AM	If you read the description, a Rebuked Undead is Cowering, so he isn't able to attack you. You can find Cowering in the Glossary. It is says in Evil Clerics and Undead that you get a +2 to attack them, but it is really the case that they are Cowering and are taking a -2 penalty to AC. Cowering The character is frozen in fear and can take no actions. A cowering character takes a -2 penalty to Armor Class and loses her Dexterity bonus (if any).
Witch 08-09-07, 10:12 AM	In fact, he's not able to do anything at all, except defending himself to a degree (as they lose Dex to AC, that's also a significant disadvantage). Edit: hmm - either I didn't read the entirety of Kouk's post, or it was edited :)

However you cannot move closer to 10 feet without breaking the effect but you can attack from a distance and your companions can attack in melee without breaking the effect.

That only applies for turning. It does not apply for rebuking.
