This may seem like an utterly basic question, but I've never felt certain of the answer.
When a cleric turns a group of undead, and fails (for whatever reason, whether he wasn't able to effect the undead or he didn't inflict enough turning damage to effect all the undead that are present) can he try again on the same group of undead, or are those undead now immune to that cleric's further attempts to turn them (at least in the short term)?
The former answer seems to mean that a cleric will always eventually turn the undead if he can beat them at all (particularly given the relatively large number of attempts available) which seems to me to be an undesirable result from the stand point of balance, but the latter answer doesn't seem to have any basis in the rules.
How is it supposed to work?
