Stacking rules for Cleric's Undead Turning

[LordSeurek]

I have a cleric I am playing. She has the following items that give a plus to the clerics level for turning undead:

1. Phylactery of Undead Turning (Caster level +4)
2. Scepter of the Netherworld (Caster Level +3)
3. Rod of Defiance (Undead level -4)
4. Glory Domain (Caster level +2)
5. Talisman of Undead Mastery (Caster level +2 - +4 depending on the # of charges used)

DO they all stack? If not, does any of it stack?

Many thanks!

Is this 3.x? 4e doesn't use the term "caster level" that I know of.

As long as those bonus types are unnamed, they all stack. Having said that, I have a few questions:

1) What level is your character?
2) Is your campaign following the wealth per level guidelines?
3) Did you really want to expend that much wealth on facing one type of creature?
3a) This can cause problems for the DM (as they basically can't use undead since you have an "I win" button) but at the same time can cause problems for you (that money could probably be better spent elsewhere).

Yeah, this is for a 3.5 game, and not 4e. It doesn't specify the 'type' of bonus to caster level.

1. My cleric is an 11th level NPC. Quamara will be doing a spot job with my party (I am the DM), and they are sadly outnumbered when it comes tot he undead present. Instead of reducing everything down, I decided to have the NPC join in the fun.

2. This campaign has been ongoing now for well over 1.5 years and is in its final stages. Trust me, the wealth involved in this game is enormous (and much larger than I would have liked), but gonna see it through. No, it doesn't follow any guidlines (esp those presented in the 3.5 DMG). Quamara was a character an old friend played in one of my FR games about 8 years ago. She had acquired much more than the items listed.

3. Quamara is a bane to undead, and such, he was palyed, by a fellow friend and purchasing as much as she could to destory the undead ones.

I think you mean that the items all boost your turning level, rather than caster level. But yes, they stack. It's pretty much a good way to make sure you can turn quite a few undead. Sadly, there are still some whose HD will be beyond your ability to turn.

Turning level, correct.

Many thanks!
