[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 536503, member: 259"] Caliban, I just reread your first post in the thread, and I'm wondering if I misunderstood your suggestion. Lemme give an example to see if I'm understanding it now. Vlad the Inhaler, an evil cleric of Huphyn, is 8th level. He fights 2 4HD wights, and decides to rebuke/command them. Since he rolls well enough, he's able to choose whether to rebuke or command them: he can command up to 8HD worth of undead, as long as they're 4 HD or less each. So he chooses to command both of them. Later, Vlad comes across three ghouls, and decides to rebuke/command them. Again, he rolls well enough to affect all of them. However, he's already commanding 8HD worth of undead, his maximum limit. So he's got two choices: 1) He can rebuke all of them; or 2) He can command one of them, as long as he concentrates on doing so. As soon as he stops concentrating, he loses the ability to command them. Still later, his commanded wights have been slain, and then he meets up with a 5 HD wraith. Again, he rolls well enough to affect it; however, since it has more than half his caster level in HD, he can only rebuke it. He cannot command it. Is this how you interpret things? FWIW, now that I think about it, I think this might be the correct interpretation, and I recant what I wrote earlier. Daniel [/QUOTE]
