Control undead forces the undead to your command, as if they were turned to your character's cause. A control attempt is performed by rolling a d20 + charisma modifier. Take the result and compare it to the table below to know the highest HD of undead that can be affected.
Control Check Result | Most powerful Undead effected |
---|---|
0 | Character HD -4 |
1-3 | Character HD -3 |
4-6 | Character HD -2 |
7-9 | Character HD -1 |
10-12 | Character HD |
13-15 | Character HD +1 |
16-18 | Character HD +2 |
19-21 | Character HD +3 |
22+ | Character HD +4 |
After getting your result, roll 2d6 + character HD + charisma modifier to determine the maximum number of undead HD affected. Once the undead are controlled, the cleric must take a standard action to direct the affected undead's actions.
Special: If an evil or neutral character becomes good, this ability can be replaced with Rebuke should they go through an atonement ritual.
