How to get Turn Undead?

[bigbaddragon]

Can you please list any prestige classes or options, that you know of, which grant the Turn Undead ability. I'm trying to avoid paladin because of four level dip and cleric because of my character's penalty to wisdom.

It would be nice if the PrC doesn't require spellcasting and if its not more than two levels dip.

Also, I'd like you to name the source your option(s) come from.

Thanks.

Option if you take a level of the UA/D20 SRD Spellcaster variant you can take Turn Undead as your bonus feat.

Same source PRC Paladin you can get Turn Undead in a single level without any spell casting loss but it has prereqs.

Sacred Exorcist PRC from Complete Divine for a single level.

Factotum nets you some turn undead abilities, but that's 5 levels instead of 4. I think it's called "Opportunistic Peity". There are no atheists in dungeons

From that list, it looks like the Soldier of Light (Deities and Demigods) would be your best option. The requirements: You need BAB +5, you need four ranks of Knowledge (Religion), and you need to be a follower of Elishar (any other god'll do, though). You get Turn Undead and Detect Undead (at will) at first level, and Smite Undead and Divine Grace (Charisma to saves) at second.

You're referring to Prestige Paladin, right? If so one of the requirements is Turn Undead ability. Thanks anyway.

Inyssius Tor: I think that Soldier of Light will do. Thanks.
(I'll have to get my hands on that book though but that can be arranged)
