[QUOTE="Kaisoku, post: 4269255, member: 58447"] The healing side of it doesn't feel as big a deal to me as the inflicting. Even for undead (and elementals or outsiders), you can devise protection magic for encounters that shouldn't be trivialized by tons of Turning damage. However, having a Negative Energy cleric walking through and doing this kind of damage against all enemies is harder to manage. Replacing the wand of cure light wounds isn't that big of a deal. 4d6 damage at 7th level vs everything within 30' may be a touch strong, and a heckuva lot better than a wand of inflict wounds. Remember, there's feats out there like Selective Channeling (in PF) and other things like making Turning a Swift Action. This can get serious pretty quickly when you get outside the core rules. And the point of Pathfinder is to work with our current 3.5e material, right? Even without having non-core Turning feats in play, 4d6 selectively damaging your foes may be a bit strong. Or maybe in practice the 30' range and other aspects of the Cleric make this work okay, and we just need to limit things like Swift Turning from other sources. [/QUOTE]
