Turning the Undead

Clerics have the ability to turn undead, causing them to flee or even outright destroying them. When a turning attempt is made, a d20 should be rolled and the Turning Undead table consulted for the result.

If the number on the die is equal to or greater than the number shown on the table, all undead creatures of the targeted type are turned and will flee for 3d6 rounds, or will cower helplessly if they cannot flee.
If the table indicates “T”, all undead creatures of the targeted type are automatically turned and will flee for 3d6 rounds, or cower helplessly if they cannot flee.
For Lawful or Good Clerics, if the table indicates “D”, the undead creature is automatically destroyed and will crumble to dust. For Chaotic or Evil Clerics, a result of “D” indicates that the undead are forced into the Cleric’s command for a period of 24 hours.
