View Full Version : Question about Glory domain (3.5)

So the granted ability from the Glory domain reads as follows:

Turn undead with a +2 bonus on the turning check and +1d6 on the turning damage roll.

My question is, do you get this every time you use a turn undead attempt (say, for Divine Spell Power) or only for turning undead specifically? (Like, say would this also benefit you if you have the ability to turn outsiders, or fire elementals or such)

Much obliged!

I think only when you actually attempt to Turn Undead. Certainly not with Divine feats or whatnot that spend turn undead uses for other abilities.

Things that modify turning checks and turning damage only apply when you engage in the Special Action of Turning (or Rebuking) Undead.

1. The bonus applies only when you turn undead. Using a turn attempt for metamagic turns no unead, therefore doesn't count.

2. Only if you were trying to turn undead outsiders or elementals. There might be other domains out there which apply their bonuses to outsiders or undead, but they would have different spell lists.
