Message: <blockquote data-quote="trav_laney" data-source="post: 3413153" data-attributes="member: 46508">I made Turn Resistance into something like Evasion...undead who have Turn Resistance gain a bonus to their Fortitude save, and take no damage on a successful save.  Much more useful when turning undead can be Maximized/ Heightened/ Empowered/Etc.As far as intelligent undead go, I like the thought of undead spellcasters being able to counter/disspel the effect.  I think it would make a battle with a lich tactically interesting.And speaking of evil spellcasters, not long after I posted the idea for making Turn Undead a spell, I realized that I would have to do something about the evil spellcasters.  You know, clerics who channel negative energy instead of positive.  So for Rebuking/ Bolstering/ Commanding the undead, I suggest the following:Rebuke Undead: unnecessary; just add halt undead to the cleric spell list.Commanding the Undead: unnecessary; just add command undead to the cleric spell list, and give it the [Evil] subtype.Bolstering the Undead: replace it with a spell (below).  Basically, this would be the "evil" counterpart of the turn undead family of spells.--------------------------------------------Bolster Undead, LesserNecromancy [Evil]Level: Clr 1Components: V, DFCasting Time: 1 standard actionRange: PersonalArea: 20' radius, centered on casterDuration: 1 round/cleric levelSaving Throw: None (harmless)Spell Resistance: No--------------------------------------------All undead within the area of effect gain 1d6 temporary hit points per 2 cleric levels (max 5d6).  These temporary hit points last for 1 round per the caster's cleric level, or until dispelled.  As with the turn undead spell, undead with more HD than the caster's cleric level are unaffected by this spell.The "normal" version of this spell would probably be about 3rd level or so, and would grant 1d6 temporary hit points per caster level (max 10d6) to all undead within the area of effect.  The greater version grants up to 20d6 temporary hit points, and the Epic version doesn't have a cap.These spells may be negated by any turn undead spell of equal or greater level, and may be readied against an enemy's turn undead spell of equal or lesser level as part of a counterspell action.Imagine how terrifying this spell would be, when the lich's "lowly" skeleton henchmen stand up to the party's maximized fireball spell.  Finally, creating an army of skeletons is worth the cost of the onyx...</blockquote>
