Message: <blockquote data-quote="Torscha" data-source="post: 3757336" data-attributes="member: 52748">I'd like to seek clarification on one of the Bone Knight's rather bizarre (there are quite a few) class features. Essentially, the Rebuke Undead one. The text includes the very emphatic "You can no longer turn undead once you gain this ability."Now, the Bone Knight does not have an alignment requirement. A lawful good paladin, or good-aligned cleric, can as easily become a leader of undead armies as a blackguard or evil cleric. This in itself is fine; it fits Eberron's "alignment is ambiguous" flavour. But the problem comes in when you realise what effect giving a good-aligned cleric rebuke undead has.The SRD says "A good cleric can turn or destroy undead creatures". It also insists that the ability to turn OR rebuke undead is the deciding factor in whether a cleric casts spontaneous cure OR inflict spells.My question is this: if I have a good-aligned cleric multiclassing as a Bone Knight, when his Turn Undead ability switches to Rebuke, does his ability to cast spontaneous cure spells switch to spontaneous inflict ones? I mean, a good-aligned cleric who is convinced that the undead can be used for a good, constructive purpose is one thing; one that is convinced that being able to hurt or kill people with a touch is more useful than healing seems rather... unconvincing as a good cleric.</blockquote>
