In the Phb it states that when an evil ( or nuetral but rebuke-abled ) cleric rolls the effect commanded "A commanded undead creature is under the mental control of the evil cleric. The cleric must take a standard action to give mental orders to a commanded undead. At any one time, the cleric may command any number of undead whose total Hit Dice do not exceed his level. He may voluntarily relinquish command on any commanded undead creature or creatures in order to command new ones." My question is this, what is the duration in which the undead is commanded? It strongly infers that this is a permanent state unless reliquished. I have searched the boards and only found clarification in regards to this in that your total commanded undead HD and animated undead HD are different pools and that a good cleric can break the command on a sucessfull "destroyed" turn roll. I have submitted this query to Ask Wizard but have yet to get a response, please help!
