09-22-05, 08:01 PM I have a question about turning undead. In the player's handbook it says that turning undead is considered an attack, So shouldn't a cleric be able to add +1 bonuses and such when there is a spell in effect that grants attack bonuses. The way I see it, a cleric rolls a die 20 on a turn check to see if he essentially hits (effects) them and then rolls turn damage to see if he destroys or makes them flee. In other words I think a turn check is an attack roll and should benefit from Bless, Prayer, Divine Favor or other such spells.
What do you think?

It is considered an attack for purposes of invisibility, etc.
It is not a melee attack allowing combat attack bonuses.
