As I ponder some of the weak spots in 3.5 rules and wonder what changes could be made to enhance the system, the subject of clerical turning springs to mind.
It seems that even by a relatively low level, the clerical ability to turn devalues many encounters with undead. Leaving aside clumsy mechanics, since they can be fixed. Should be ability to turn undead even be in 4th edition at all? Is it time to slaughter and eat the sacred turning cow?
Alternately, if turning stays, should it be restricted to only those servants of deities for whom turning would be a logical part of their portfolio?
What are your thoughts?
