From the 3.5 FAQ:"a change to the key ability score indeed affects the daily limit—in the example above, the cleric would gain 2 additionalturn/rebuke attempts per day—but these aren’t just “free” uses.Here’s why:Assume the cleric above has a normal Charisma score of12, granting him 4 turn attempts per day (3 + 1 for Cha bonus).Casting eagle’s splendor increases his Charisma to 16, whichwould grant 6 attempts per day. At the end of the spell,however, his daily limit would drop back down to 4 attempts.At that point, the player must compare the number of daily usesexpended to the daily limit to see if any still remain.Here’s how that might work in play. Our cleric turnsundead twice, then casts eagle’s splendor right before a bigfight with a horde of zombies. During the duration of the spell,he makes four more turning checks. When the spell ends, hecompares his new daily limit (4) to the number of attempts used(6)—whoops, no turns left. Hope all the undead have beendestroyed, because even if the cleric cast eagle’s splendoragain, he wouldn’t have any more turning attempts available,since he’s already used all 6 of his allotted attempts. If he couldincrease his Charisma to 18, he’d “gain” one more turningattempt (since he has now used 6 out of his allotted 7 dailyattempts), usable only during the duration of the Charisma-boostingeffect."</blockquote>
