Arkov When using the "Turn Undead" ability, an evil cleric will channel negative energy to awe/rebuke and command the undead. This is fundamentally different from channeling positive energy to turn or destroy the undead, and it is clear to onlookers that you are performing an evil act. In theory, since neutral clerics should be able to do this as well (a feature which may be added soon, stay tuned) it doesn't necessarily mean that you are strictly of an evil alignment, but it's not a bad guess.You are also technically holding up a holy symbol when you use this ability, and invoking the name of your deity to reprimand the undead, but for our purposes this doesn't automatically identify precisely which deity you follow -- though certainly a cleric who shouts "Bow down, creatures of undeath! Submit to your new Lord Bane!" is putting on a more impressive performance than one who wiggles a holy symbol without announcing whose power they are channeling.
While I am pretty sure This is three years old *It is folks* does Arkov's words still hold true? Will Neutral clerics one day be able to command the undead?
