I know this is really shitty and slow but i just started the game and my cleric is level 4 at the moment. I just got to the vale of shadows and i can't seem to turn those damned shadows.... or even those skeletor guys man. I read some notes about your 'turn undead' icon lighting up but i don't see nothing lighted up on my character panel. and yes.... i'm really sure my character is a CLERIC.

When you click the skull on your console, the button will be outlined in light. Then, your cleric cannot attack an enemy, or the button will turn off. While leaving it on, and being near an undead, two things will occur. The cleric will have to be in a level high enough to turn an undead, and the undead have to make a saving throw in order to ignore it. Sometimes, I have not been able to turn the dead on the first round. Sometimes, later on in the fight, I will notice that at one or to will be turned. You will know that it hapened when you hear the little angel voice and see a white spiral of light leaving the undead's form, briefly. The undead will remain turned until he can push off the effect.

Cheers Larry,

I figured it out. I used to turn the damn thing on and then whack the baddies...... no wonder it never stayed on *du-uh*.

Yup,
don't feel bad it took me a while to realise you can't fight while your trying
to turn undead to!http://www.tgeweb.com/ironworks/cgi-...iles/smile.gif

Here's some turning undead cheese. Sanctuaried clerics can turn undead. that means, he's completely untouchable by monsters, and the undead will run away (or fall under his control) over time. pretty cool...
i'm not positive, but i think i've seen the undead icon highlighted on a cleric who was fighting. i believe this came about from being attacked, and the script ordered him to attack back, but kept turning? can anyone else confirm this?
(scripts are tricky to play with)

Leafy,
Yeah, I got my cleric to turn while whacking some skeletons. Just like you said, I placed him on the 'cautious warrior' script which automatically makes him attack any monster that attacks his teamates or himself. Not too bad but roughly when will i be able to control the undead and will I be powerful enough that undead just burst into flames when I turn them on a higher level?

At high enough levels:
-good clerics can destroy weaker undeads
-evil clerics can gain control of undeads

Long live H22A1!!!!!
