D&D 5E After first Next playtest session... a few questions.

I'd say turning is like a frightening effect for undead those that turn and flee from the positive energy.
Perhaps a charm type effect for negative energy clerics who wish to control undead...
But I don't think that's expressly stated with keywords, so up to a DM to rule.
But destruction still definitely would apply if shambling undead is in effect. Keep in mind I don't think it's supposed to be a common undead ability, perhaps one particularly powerful lich or undead summoner could have it..

3. Your skill die doesn't go anywhere, it's just that you can't use your skill die on the check that the skill trick lets you do. So, if you're using your skill die for Detect Noise, you don't get your skill die on the Wisdom check to detect hiding creatures.

of course, when you use at same time..
