Turning Undead Into Gasoline

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Alright, first off, no, this is not about refining zombie sludge... though that would be cool and I'm now thinking of something interesting for that.


Anyways, what I'm wanting to know is if there are any abilities, feats, etc that you can burn turn attempts to use?

With a simple Paladin 5/Death Delver 1 build and Extra Turning I've discovered I can rebuke undead 20 times per day.

That's plenty more than I'll ever need and just curious what I can use it for.

There are the various divine feats from Complete Divine and Complete Champion... I think there may be some in PBH2 also. Such feats let you increase damage, reduce damage, ward against some effects, things like that.

Divine feats, Devotion feats (most of them anyhow), RKV, OC, Divine Wrath weapon property (MIC), that one itemset from CChamp. Off the top of my head, there are huge number of others, I should think.

[Edit]: The itemset was Regalia of Righteous War. I do recall Knight of the Raven could use TU for some things too, removing negative levels and the like.

Huh. I just asked this exact same question. Maybe a thread merge is appropriate here...

No need for that when you can have this (http://chet.kindredcircle.org/)
