Just one question: why a turning/destroying cleric, when you can have a rebuking/controlling cleric?
The evil cleric is so much interesting...

Need help making a undead killing cleric

Re: Turn don't rebuke
True, nothing can be done about destroyed undead. Then again, they can't help you fight the remaining undead who aren't destroyed. Talk with your GM, see if you can come up with a domain ability similar to the Sun-domain ability, but for rebuking/commanding instead of turning/destroying.
Also, I'm not positive, but if you rebuke undead, I'm pretty sure you can't 'dispel' the rebuking.
I agree with Elder-Basilisk's choice of feats. For a third level Cleric like you're constructing, Extra Turning/Rebuking (probably through a domain) and Heighten Turning (DotF) are good choices.
If you go the Ranger/Cleric route, you should probably skip Divine Vengeance (DotF, gives you 2d6 extra melee damage against undead for 1 round for one turn attempt), and instead get Favored Enemy Strike, Undead (gives you 1d6 extra damage against undead, melee or ranged, all the time).

Definately take Craft Arms and Armor for Ghost Touch weapons and armor, and a disrupting mace.
Otherwise its not overly hard to make a cleric an undead destroying machine, its what they are made for. I agree that Sun and Healing are your best domains- both have spells that are great against undead.
The amulet vs undead is also worth the effort, otherwise defenders of the faith has some good anti-undead turning feats IIRC.
Extra turning feat is a must anyway.

Re: Hey Reaper.
You mean you don't use www.google.com as your search engine?
Well, there's your problem right there...
go there, type in "Radiant Servant of Pelor", find it.
Re-read the Lich Smackdown, and you're almost all set to make a cleric that will absolutely rip up undead like noone has before.
dude, does it have to be spelled out?Azazu said:

By itself, it's almost a useless feat IF you pump up your CHA.Gromm said:
