10-25-07, 01:40 AM I misread the title of another thread and got this idea, fun huh? :P

In D20Modern the Cleric-esque class (Acolyte) gains the ability to turn magical beasts and later outsiders by using her Turn Undead attempts. I'm sure the Cleric can take feats for such abilities (probably in some supplement I don't own), but what if a cleric could try and turn a cleric of an opposed alignment? The thought of a turning dual seems awesome to me, but I'm not sure how it would work...

Would it just be an opposed charisma check? Should it cost a feat? Would there be more than one stage to it (Perhaps, if you lost one battle, you could spend another turn attempt to get back into the fight)?

Thanks!

If could cut of the opposed clerics spellcasting for a short time.

One use a turning attempt to cut off the divine connection of a opposing aligned cleric with 30 feet.. Both make opposed level checks adding their Charisma modifier. The loser them is cut off from their spell caster ability for 1 round plus one round for every 5 that the other cleric lost by.

This would make the attempt dangerous as the every attempt could temporarily cut off your own spellcasting abilities for a short time.

Should it require a feat or would it be an alternate class feature... or just something everyone who can turn undead can take advantage of?
