Hi all :)

When a cleric has the Rebuke/Command undeads.... How many time can you command these creatures? In the text, says that its like Destroying, but this last has instantaneous duration. :confused:

Im planing to create an undead horde under the sewers of a city. :D .Any suggestions or ideas?

When you make your turn check and you would destroy an undead if you where good instead treat the undead as commanded.

Yes but you can only command as many HD worth of undead as your level.

So the army of undead you control will be limited in size. But since undead are naturally hostile to all things alive you only need to control those who can see you.

Actually according to Wizards help... the Command effect generated by Turn/Rebuke only lasts 10 rounds.

Based on creature: skeletons and zombies stand and take no intiative unless ordered before hand.
If ordered them to attack any who don't wear a symbol in a place: they would do so.

If you never ordered them, they stand motionless.

But other types I'd asume be hostile to others.

Sent a question on that to wizards help staff. Response was that it only last 10 rounds as per the turn/rebuke effect. I have a necro in my party see... had to do some research... :P
