Undead Slayer PrC

Greetings.

Just a quick question regarding turn undead.
Do the Undead Slayer levels stack with Cleric/Pally levels for calculating HD and number of creatures turned?

Cheers,

As far as I know, no it does not stack.  In order to compensate for that the feat progression of undead slayer incorporates some feats to assist with turning undead more effectively.

First, you get the sun domain at level 1.  The sun domain has 2 bonuses to turning:

Exceptional Turning:
1. It adds a 1d6 to the total number of creature hit dice affected in the following formula (2d6 + base class level (cleric lvl or paladin lvl -2) + CHA modifier + 1d6 (sun)).  
2. It also adds 1d4 to the "turn level" formula (1d20 + CHA modifier + 1d4 (sun)) to find the maximum level of undead you can slay based on your cleric/paladin base class level.

Also, at level 3 of undead slayer you get the Extra Turning feat which adds 6 additional turning attempts per day.

I was weighing the bonus feats versus lesser turn power.
I gusess the U/S also gets Martial Weapon and BAB (Main) which make it further appealing.

I would like to know if the sun domain really afects paladins

Since the "domain" Only affects clerics for the effects of spells and abilities, This is that a paladin that becomes an Undead slayer does not really recieve the ability to cast the searing light spell , so i am not sure if the efect of the domain actually applies to turning checks tough .

just my 2 cents
