Aligned priests can use turn undead against undead monsters they want to attack. “Want to attack” is not currently well-defined for priests vs undead in NetHack, but it would probably follow these rules:
- High priests don’t turn undead, for simplicity.
- Priests of Moloch turn the player if they are polymorphed into an undead, but don’t turn other undead monsters.
- Other priests turn undead that are near them, whether that is the player or not. This opens up an interesting strategy where you can flee from undead into a temple and the priest will help you out.
