High level evil clerics are able to turn Dorn as a paladin even if he is the party.

    I really think this is more of a quirk of the D&D rules than a bug in the game, as paladins/blackguards are turnable by clerics of the opposite allignment (good/evil). It seems totally reasonable. Also, you should follow the bug reporting format.

    Does that also mean high-level evil clerics can command Blackguards? That could make for some interesting dialogue between Viconia and Dorn.

    Yes, but Dorn is evil and the cleric is evil too... as the blackguard is implemented as a paladin subclass. It isn't a really big problem though, I did it with a level 40 cleric which I use now to find all the bugs in quest entries as soon as possible.

    I had this problem with Viconia and Keldorn in SOA, but I don't see how Dorn should be turned by an evil cleric as he is evil himself.

    Hmm. It must be since he is a subclass of paladin. They must have set turn undead to turn paladins without think about blackguards. Still, I kind of like it. But I guess it is a bug. Try reporting via the proper format. I.E.

    Current Behavior: Evil Clerics are able to turn Blackguards like Paladins.

    Expected Behavior: Only good Clerics should be able to turn Blackguards.

    Evil clerics should be able to control him, yeah :)

    Agreed with @Wakukee and @Avenger_teambg. My beef, though, @ankheg, is that it affects him even as a *fallen* blackguard, which definitely should not happen. If you lose your (anti)paladinhood, you shouldn't have to be treated like one.
