[QUOTE="Herzog, post: 2598751, member: 25696"] Ok, here's my attempt of making up the houserule as a feat: [B]Improved Bolster Undead[/B] Requirement: Ability to bolster undead. Improved bolster undead works the same as bolster undead, with the following exceptions: 1. The bolstered undead remain bolstered indefinately, as long as the undead remain within 1 mile. That is, turning attempts against the bolstered undead are treated against the bolstered level. ( For large numbers of undead controlled by NPC's, treat all bolsters as resulting in a HD number identical to the bolstering cleric's level) 2. Succeeded turn attempts against a bolstered undead do not turn or destroy the undead, but disconnect the bolstering link. A second, normal turning is necessary to turn or destroy the undead. 3. As a direct result of the continues bolstering, a link remains between the bolstering cleric and the undead. This link as the following nasty side-effect: When a turn attempt succeeds, a positive energy backlash travels up the link to the bolstering cleric. Consider the following: If a NORMAL turning of the undead in question would have resulted in a turned undead, the link is broken and nothing else happens. If a NORMAL turning of the undead in question would have resulted in a destroyed undead, the link is broken, and positive energy damage equal to the HD destroyed is applied to the bolstering cleric as 1 hp/HD. Ok, what do you think? Herzog. [/QUOTE]
