[QUOTE="War Golem, post: 382367, member: 142"] I've always thought it worked as Femerus the Gnecro stated, but I just looked throught the PHB, DMG and FAQ trying to find a specific reference to back up this assumption... and I found nothing. Which now leads me to believe that KaeYoss' interpretation may be technically correct. BUT... :) .... the Prestige Classes in DotF that grant Turning do not specifically state that they stack with previously gained Cleric or Paladin Turning attempts; nonetheless, the Sage ruled thus in the FAQ: [i][b]The table for the hospitaler prestige class shows the ability to turn undead at 1st level.
