[QUOTE="Uller, post: 2688229, member: 413"] Actually Geoff has a point. It very well may be the only encounter (or series of encounters) where turning undead is useful. I don't use undead too much really. Undead are really cool monsters, IMO...but like all cool monsters, over use takes away the fun because then they just become old hat. So it may be awhile before they get used again. That's one of the reasons I avoid too many house rules concerning them...because I don't use them enough to really play test the house rules (or even remember them when I need them). Right now the only house rule I have for undead is that paralyzed characters cannot be coup de graced (I look at paralysis from ghouls or a hold person spell more of a state of panic...the character can't act, but he isn't completely helpless either. He's not totaly unable to move) and Energy Drain is _never_ permanent...I hate taking levels away from my PCs. Those levels are earned and we play so rarely it is hard to earn them back. [/QUOTE]
