Message: <blockquote data-quote="Camarath" data-source="post: 2674290" data-attributes="member: 11987">You don't really have to make a house rule to allow Turn Resistance and Bolstering Undead to stack allow all you have to do is define "effective Hit Dice" as the base HD value rather than the final used HD value. If you do so then effective Hite Dice replaces Hit Dice total as far as Turn Resistance is concerned and thus would add Turn Resistance to the effective Hite Dice from Bolstering to get the final value for turn, rebuke, command, and bolster attempts.Since "effective Hit Dice" is not a defined term the DM does as shilsen pointed out have a great deal of latitude. And he could I think put forth either ruling with out contradicting the RAW. I think a strict interpretation supports Turn Resistance and Bolstering Undead not stacking. But since any interpretation depend on an undefined term no interpretation can be truly definitive.I think I will check some of the other WoTC sources (when I get home) to see if there is anything addressing this issue. This would seem to be the kind of question the would occasionally need some clarification. But possible that the writers did not consider that others might not make the same assumptions.</blockquote>
