Of all the character classes empowered to affect Undead, the Cavalier class has perhaps the weakest ability. A successful turn will affect one creature per three levels. Affected Undead will remain in a "turned" state for one round per two levels of the and flee the combat scene at full speed unless interfered with or until the turning effect dissipates. This action can be done one time per day per three levels. For faith magic (the act of two or more clerics combining forces into a single massive turning attempt) the Cavalier has a C/Add value of 1. Even at 1st level, a Cavalier can turn a single creature once per day for one round.

Of course, Cavaliers, at high level, have almost no chance of affecting creatures of equal Hit Dice. But that is also in keeping with the Cavalier's philosophy: Such a sinister creature should be utterly destroyed in a brave show of force, not merely forced to retreat.
