Turning undead questions

[Jeb McDonald]

Good Morning,

I've recently started playing a game with a new character who is currently a 1/1 Cleric/Paladin (each character from the campaign had to start with one level in cleric. My plan is to simply continue advancing in Paladin). One of my feats is Extra Turning. When I attain 4th level in Paladin, I gain the Paladin ability to turn undead, and this is where I have several questions:
1. Do my turning attempts from cleric and paladin stack?
2. Do I have to keep my turning attempts for cleric and paladin seperate (I'll have X number of turn attempts for Cleric and Y number of turn attempts for Paladin)?

3. As I advance in Paladin levels (let's assume for this case I am now a 7th level paladin, so I turn as a 4th level cleric), will I turn as an aforementioned 4th level cleric or as a 5th level cleric (because I'm also a first level cleric)?
4. Will my Extra Turning feat give me 4 extra turning attempts to each class?

Thank you in advance. I'd appreciate your reply to include a book reference (if possible).

Jeb McDonald.

You will add together your Turn Undead attempts per day and turn as a cleric of a level equal to (Your Cleric Level) + (Your Paladin Level - 3).

Yay, Jersey!

1. Do my turning attempts from cleric and paladin stack?

"You may attempt to turn undead a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. You can increase this number by taking the Extra Turning feat."
A paladin counts as a cleric three levels lower, so your classes stack for turn checks and damage, but not number of attempts per day. Turns per day is not related to class/level.

3. As I advance in Paladin levels (let's assume for this case I am now a 7th level paladin, so I turn as a 4th level cleric), will I turn as an aforementioned 4th level cleric or as a 5th level cleric (because I'm also a first level cleric)?

5th, see above

4. Will my Extra Turning feat give me 4 extra turning attempts to each class?

"...you can use your ability to turn or rebuke creatures four more times per day than normal." The number of turn attempts is related to Cha, not class/level, so +4/day from the feat.

OK--Thank you both very much!
