One I've been thinking about:  Clerics may manifest their divine power to turn undead once per encounter, doing 1d6/cleric level +1/Cha bonus (positive energy) to each undead within an radius of 10'/cleric level, with undead (Will) saving for no damage at a DC of 20, getting a +1 bonus to the roll per HD...  Evil clerics would ADD/Heal that amount to undead under their direct control (determined by that same DC 20) by eminating negative energy- neutrals would have to choose at creation which energy they channel.Yes- undead, even "low level" ones, would be a threat to any PC under such a system.</blockquote>
