<h3>Turn Undead</h3>
</summary>
Divine Spellcaster rolls 2d6, then consults table.
- If table says "T", roll indicates how many HD of undead are turned
- If table has a number, compare that number with the roll
- If the roll is less than the target number, the turning attempt fails.
- If the roll equals or exceeds the target number, roll another 2d6 to determine how many HD of undead are turned.
