Command Undead vs. Turning

[phindar]

If you consider the Command Undead to function essentially the same as a Rebuke attempt by a cleric of the appropriate level, you could make the case for it overriding the Turn, in much the same way as if a good cleric and an evil cleric Turned and Rebuked and undead back and forth between them. It's stretching the interpretation of the spell pretty thin, but it's still a 2nd level slot for something the Cleric gets for free, so I don't feel it would be terribly unbalancing.

If that was the effect I was going for, I'd rewrite Command Undead to specifically address this, or I'd make 3rd level spell that functioned as a Rebuke Attempt, but either way you're drifting into House Rules territory.

But the sorceress would still lose (suggestive) control after the spell expired, when control would revert back to the evil cleric.

Another question: Would the wight count against the evil cleric's number of undead commanded while under the suggestive control of the sorceress?

I don't see why not. Just because you are de facto prevented from benefiting from your resources does not mean they are not expended.
