turn undead???

Almost never works? Exxon, of all people, you should know how powerful this ability is, for Clerics and Paladins. Tis sweet to stroll into a room without a care for the world, while Vampires futilely try to hurt you, exploding into chucky pieces.

Laugh at other fighters as they try in vain to hack through a Lich's spell protection. Earn their envy as you sing a hymn to your God and vanquish the Lich without even breaking a sweat.

Turn Undead, you would be poorer without it.

Kills multiple Vampires in one round!

I think its the long time taken which makes most gamers ignore turn undead in favor of a more physical solution (such as myself). However there's no doubting that it can be devastating at high levels.

Long time? It only takes one round... ...

What other method allows you to mass kill Vampires in one round?

Ah, thank you for that tip.

Anyway, in the middle of a vampire melee, standing still and turning undead is gonna be pretty difficult, unless you successfully manage to position your clerics out of it. Most gamers would much rather hack n slash instead.
Sunburst and False Dawn are pretty good spells against vampires, it won't mass kill them like turn undead but its still pretty damaging and fighters won't have a problem mopping up the vamps after that.

Haha, make sure you don't have Keldorn and Viconia together in your party tho, i did and when Vic turned undead keldorn ran away in fear! haha

Tip: Do not stand still when Turning Undead. You can run around like a mad man and still Turn Undead, it will not interrupt the skill.

So people have no excuse that Turn Undead is hard to use.

Turn Undead Level 18 is enough to kill Liches, except of course certain special Liches. I don't know about Vampires, but it should be in the area of Level 18.

The trick with Turning Undead is to stay moving so they can't hit you--but also keep them within the Turn Undead radius, which is something like 15 feet.

My juiciest kill was in Watcher's Keep -- SMALL ToB SPOILER

One of the colors of the Globe Machine generates Undead. So, all I had to do was leave Turn Undead on (My Undead Hunter & Aerie) for a slaughterfest. The best one was 4 Devil Shades, who exploded simultaneously, and when you kill a Devil Shade, it spawns 2 Shadow Fiends, who of course explode 1 second later. Wheeeeee!
