Turn elementals with earth domain

Can someone confirm that turn undead works on elementals when you have earth domain? Should an 8th lvl cleric be able to turn "huge earth elementals?" I don't know the mechanics.

LORE: Clerical Domains

The ability to turn (undead, elemental, vermin) has to do with the cleric's level vs. the Hit Dice of the creature(s) being turned.

The mechanics are here: LORE: Turn Undead

Substitute "elemental" for "undead" and that should basically be it.

I've seen Plenarius turn elementals in the deep...big ones.  I dont think you can turn a creature that has a higher level than your "adjusted" cleric/paladin level.  

The forumula for turning is actually fairly complicated. I'm not sure if Layonara has modified the forumula.

Edit:  Looks like Dorg beat me!  Erm what he said :)

I see, so for Honeybee at 8th level she probably failed the "turn level" criteria for huge earth elementals (16 hit dice?). The range would be 4 to 12 that she could have a chance of turning.

Thanks!
