I could not find this in my search, so apologies if it's already been answered, but...

Do clerics keep their uncast spells without praying. My cleric was knocked out in combat, and there's a good chance he's going to be imprisoned, I likely won't recover consciousness within 24hrs, so do I keep my uncast spells once my prayer time has passed at 6am?

I'm likely to not have my holy symbols when I regain consciousness, but I do have Word of Recall memorized which is only Vocal.

I think the positive energy burst isn't a bad idea, but I think it's still awkward, it's either ineffective at low levels, or too powerful (making undead obsolete). I've always viewed it as a mook killer, or a croud controller...

How about this mechanic instead;

Turn Undead:

1. Determine what CR of undead you can affect by adding your Cleric Level + Charisma Bonus.
1a. divide by 2 (rounded down), within 30'.
1b. divide by 4 (rounded down), within 30' and 60'.

1A - CR 1/2 turn undead of that CR within 30' (6 squares).
1B - CR 1/4 destroy undead of that CR within 30' (6 squares) or turn them within 35'-60'.

This means a cleric of first level with a +4 wisdom bonus can turn CR2 undead within 30' (level + charisma /2), can turn CR1 undead up to 60' and destroy CR1 undead within 30' (level + charisma /4).

if staying with the positive energy burst, might I suggest:

3d6+chr bonus +1d6 per 5 levels within 30'.

This gives lower level clerics a much better ability, and doesn't get overly powerful as the cleric levels up.
