[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8680748, member: 19675"] Welllll…yes and no. While it’s true the feat takes a niche ability into something universally useful, how useful it is really depends on the character and campaign. For a full cleric in an undead heavy campaign, this feat isn’t going to see much use. It’s more important to have a powerful tool against undead than provide healing for the masses. For a character like a paladin whose Turning ability lags behind a cleric’s and becomes less useful over time, this feat lets the ability continue to benefit the party. The same goes for a campaign in which undead are rare or absent. The niche ability being nullified gets redeemed. This was all true for my geomancer in a campaign centered on RttToEE. Because of the dearth of undead and the multiclassing requirements to become a geomancer, the character’s ability to Turn Undead would normally be as useful as Swiss-cheese umbrella. The few undead we encountered were either low level threats that didn’t warrant burning a Turn or too powerful for that character’s Turn to affect. [/QUOTE]
