I know that one lvl of cleric could do it, but if you know a item who let you turn or rebuke undead.

If you don't know a item, how could that item could cost?

While the cleric is very powerful, I disagree with any distribution to any other class with turn undead aside from paladin. And that's that.

01-24-06, 12:34 AM How about a level of Dread Necromancer? I would think that having an item in this manner wouldn't qaulify for that PrC anyways.

01-24-06, 12:57 AM Just pick up a level of DN. The only PrC that nets you it is Sacred Exorcist, IIRC.

01-24-06, 08:02 AM ok but I don't have that book, and I don't think that you would tell the first lvl of a DN, if not I will take a lvl of cleric

01-24-06, 10:21 AM There was an item in 2nd Ed., it was a holy symbol, I think it was called "Talisman vs Undead". The item came in different power levels. I think the power levels went from, equal to Lv 3 cleric up to equal to Lv9 cleric. It was usable three times a day.

01-24-06, 10:39 PM So while working today I was thinking about the "Talisman vs Undead", and I came up with a plot line. (I hate it when I come up with campain ideas for an item, grrrrrr to many campain ideas going through my head.)

Background:
1000years ago, Bob (see if you can find a better name) the cleric, was on a high-holy-mission. He ends up in one of thoes ever populer end-of-the-world-life-or-death-save-the-world-or-everyone-dies thingies, you know the ones, they happen every 200years or so, or when the DM needs to push the charactors in one diretion. So anyways, Bob finds out that the evil lich Mike (what? Mike is a good name for a lich), has a huge army of undead. And Mike being evil and all, takes his army of undead and starts attacking and killing and looting and all the other things BBEGs do, to all the lands. Bob gets the good guys together, meets up with the bad guys and they have a really big fight. Bad guys are winning, Bob prays to his god for help. Bob's god grants Bob the power to stop this army of undead, Bob uses the power and wipes out the undead including Mike, who said with his last dieing breath (yes I know undead don't breath, its just there for effect) "I'll be back to get my reve...." Bob got sainted for this.
What happened is Bob chaneled his god's power through his holy symbol via himself. This left a lasting imprint of power on the holy symbol (gives the item the ablity to turn undead 3/day). So Bob's holy symbol is a greater magic item or a lesser artifact, but its still one of a kind.
Now:
Your PC goes questing for it, finds it, uses it (I'll let you put in all the monsters and advencher it takes to get it). But, there is a "cult", who claim to be the direct desendents of St.Bob. They follow the same god that Bob did, thoe they are an off shoot of the main religion, one that belives St.Bob to be god's right hand man, or some other miner thing. (they get mad if you call Bob "Bob" and not "St.Bob") And they would do anything to get back St.Bob's holy symbol, or any thing eles that might have been St.Bobs. Then this cult starts running into the charactors all over the place, becoming a real pain.
