Hit Dice Limits

When making a turn attempt, the caster makes a check for the maximum hit dice (against player characters) or challenge rating (against non-player characters) of a single enemy that one can turn and the total hit dice/challenge rating one can turn. The nearest enemy within 20 meters (60 feet) is affected first and then the next nearest creature, and so on until the total hit dice/challenge rating limit is met or no more enemies can be turned. Enemies with greater than the maximum hit dice/challenge rating cannot be turned.

Turning Level

A character's Turning Level for the sake of turning calculations is equal to:

• Cleric level + Paladin level + Blackguard level

or

• Blackguard level + Fighter level if the character has no third class and no more than 10 Fighter levels.
  • If more than 10 Fighter levels are taken, the character no longer adds Fighter levels to their turning level.

Maximim Hit Dice

The maximum player hit dice or monster challenge rating of a single enemy that one can turn is equal to:

• Turning Level + Charisma Modifier/10 + other modifiers

• Charisma Modifier can be negative.
• Other modifiers are only applied when the Charisma Modifier is positve:
  • + 1 with Sun Domain ;
  • + 1 when wearing The Acolyte's Medallion;

Total Hit Dice

The total number of player hit dice or monster challenge ratings affected are equal to the greater of the below:

• Turning Level

or

• ( Charisma Modifier * [Turning Level/6] ) + 1

Turning Effects

Good/Neutral Casters

If the caster is Good or Neutral and belonging to any faction except the Mystral Ascendancy, enemies will be knocked back and knocked down for 2 round and take (Cha/2 + Turning Level/20) * 1d8 divine damage. If the caster has twice the hit dice as the enemy's hit dice/challenge rating, they are destroyed instantly instead. Once turned, a creature is immune to the effects of turning for 10 rounds.

Evil Casters

If the caster is Evil or Neutral and belonging to the Mystral Ascendancy, enemies will be drained of (Cha Mod/2 + Turning Level/20) AB, AC, and all saves for 10 rounds. Only a greater restore can remove the drain. If the caster has twice the hit dice as the enemy's hit dice/challenge rating, they are dominated instead. Once turned, a creature is immune to the effects of turning for 10 rounds.
