@HeyICanChan We had a home rule that once a cleric leveled up, they would be allowed an additional attempt at turning that individual undead. Conversely, once a cleric is level-drained, a previously turned undead individual rolls again.

Awarded the bounty to the only answer.

There is a difference between level advancement combat for Monks versus Druids, Thieves, and Assassins. Druids can use any of their spells, weapons, and magic items. Thieves and Assassins can use those plus henchmen and guild members. Those three types of combat depend much more on player skill. Hopefully a player would learn from their character's losing those types. Monk's leveling combat, with all variables equal, is just luck.
