Pelor's Radiance vs. Turn Undead

[hennebeck]

Is Pelor's Radiance so much better then Turn Undead that it's worth a feat?
Since you already get Turn Undead and you can only cast one or the other.

Not really. Stun is nice but it's a smaller area and does nothing on a miss. The only time I'd use it is against Solo Undead where the stun really counts, so maybe it's worth taking when you're in Epic Tier and you run out of good stuff to spend your feats on.

Pelor's Radiance is a lot more useful for paladins, who don't normally get any sort of turning.

For Clerics, Turn Undead and Pelor's Radiance depend on what your chance to miss is, really. If the enemy is hard to hit, Turn Undead does more damage. If your enemy is easy to hit, Pelor's Radiance wins out. Does that make it worth a feat? That's up to you.

On the other hand, Pelor's Radiance is alright if you're a paladin who wants to do more to an undead than just your attacks.

But then, Paladins don't have troubles with undead. Radiant damage hurts undead hard.
