Control undead?

[outlander78]

I could have sworn that evil clerics get a "control undead" version of "turn undead", but I cannot find it in my Rules Cyclopedia.  Does anyone know if that is a BECMI rule at all?  Or, if it is found in a 1E or 2E book?

Just checked the 1e phb and it appears on 104 that evil clerics can destroy or command undead

Wrath of the Immortals allows for clerics of Hel to control undead as a liege of 3HD higher than their clerical level.

Edit: Ah ha! Found the "control rather than turn undead" reference. It comes from the Avenger description, on RC page 18.

Thank you!

In the Rules Cyclopedia, avengers have this power (see pg 18), but it's never mentioned for clerics in any version of basic D&D.  Of course you can always make like AD&D treat Chaotic clerics as if they were avengers for the purpose of controlling undead, and I think most everybody does anyway.
