[QUOTE="Apeiron, post: 3483309, member: 42532"] Nice. i like it. A divine sneak attack. Thanks for posting. i've added a bit in italics. Unlike smite evil, this is much more limited in target selection. A paladin can smite an evil human, a cleric can use this only against undead (even a good undead, perhaps). My original aim is to ask, what if a priest focussed all of the power of a turn undead into only one target instead of a blast? Instead of hitting several zombies with the usual divine force, hit one vampire with a concentrated turning. It would help low level priests with more powerful undead, or perhaps allow them to destroy something they might have only turned. i see unfold like this: Jozan calls out to Heironeous and swings mightily at the wraith. Player checks off a use of Turn Undead, rolls to hit, 20!, roll to confirm... success! - Feat over comes miss chance, immunity to criticals Player makes a turn check as a cleric of <some bonus> Wraith disintegrates in a cloud of screams - Jozan wasn't twice the HD of the Wraith, feat allowed destruction - (or with the bonus damage from Screwhead's version of the feat) The attack part might not be necessary to this effect, i just like the flavor of channeling the power through a weapon. Plus requiring the player to expend a use AND make a successful attack makes it more reasonable to have the feat be powerful. Perhaps there could be another feat Ranged Channeled Turning. If ignoring the miss chance for incorporeal critters is too much, it could be "add BAB to roll against the miss chance". i appreciate the help in writing this. i'm learning. :) [/QUOTE]
