[net.games.frp] Clerical Turning

disc@houxz.UUCP (Paragon the Pious) (08/28/84)

All right, who used a Wand of Wonder on this line?


I'm a relatively inexperienced DM, and my "party" and I have a 
disagreement of sorts on how to run clerical turning.

Namely, when consulting the "Clerics vs. Undead" table during encounters, 
how is the "T" (automatic turning) played?  Does it mean simply that 
the player skips the d20 roll to see if undead are affected, and just 
rolls d12 to see the number that are turned?  Or does automatic turning 
mean that ALL undead in the area (regardless of the number) are turned?

Also, do the affected undead (assuming they do not become "friendly" to
the cleric) simply flee as soon as they "sense" (see, hear, etc.) the
cleric, or must the player do something?  You know, like raise their 
arms and shout "Yo!  I'm a cleric!  Get your buns out of here and leave
my party alone!" or something to that effect.
