Most undead of CR 3 or higher have a turn resistance. They did not bother to give elementals, lycanthropes, etc ... a turn resistance ability. As a result, these creatures tend to be a bit too easy to turn. I suggest, as a house rule, that you give creatures with a CR between 3 and 8 a turn resistance of +2 and creatures with a CR of 9 to 20 a +4 turn resistance.Second, undead and outsiders that are destroyed in 3.0 and 3.5 core rules are permanently dead. They are not sent back to a different plane. That was changed between 2E and 3.0. If you turn a small fire elemental or skieleton and get a 'destroyed' result, the foe is permanently defeated.The moon domain's ability to turn or destroy lycanthropes is a bit harsh if strictly interpreted. A very good (in terms of alignment) character may be completely destroyed by a good cleric is that character has been bitten by a wererat. This doens't seem to mesh well with my ideas of a priest that opposes lycanthropes.I'd recommend a house rule that only natural lycanthropes can be destroyed. Infected lycanthropes can either be cured or paralyzed by the turning attempt.</blockquote>
