Righteous Turning allows the Cleric (or Bladedancer, etc.) to add their Wisdom bonus to their turning rolls. If the Cleric in question has an 18 Wisdom, their bonus is +3. The Turning Undead table on page 22 of the main book also goes up by +3 for each level and or Undead type. This basically raises the question “Does a 18 WIS Cleric with Righteous Turning turn undead as one level higher than they really are.”
Say Father Leslie is an 18 WIS Cleric with the Righteous Turning Proficiency.
-
At first level, does Father Leslie have the potency to turn a wraith if the physical die roll for the potency is 19 or 20 (making it 22 or 23 with his Bonus), just as a second level cleric could?
-
At 5th level, would Father Leslie have to roll the potency check to turn a Ghoul? His +3 bonus would make even a roll of 1 be a 4, which is the minimum target number.
-
At 5th level Father Leslie is confronted by skeletons. Per the chart, the “T” means he doesn’t need to roll the potency, but because of the +3 from his WIS bonus, would the skeletons (up to the number of HD) be destroyed (as what would happen with a 6th level cleric) or “merely” turned?
