Starting at 5th level, you can use your Channel Divinity to control Undead creatures.
As an action, you present your holy symbol and channel Kelemvor's Will to command the undead. You target 1 Undead creature that can see or hear you within 30 feet. If the target's CR is equal to or less than a certain threshold (as shown in table below), then the target must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. If the target fails, you gain temporary control over the creature and cause it to spend its final moments fighting under your command. While controlling an Undead creature in this way, you must concentrate (as if concentrating on a spell). Control lasts for up to 1 minute.
While a creature is under your control, it is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. On your turn, you can spend a Bonus Action to give a command, which the creature will follow to the best of their ability. However, the specific movements and actions taken by the turned creatures may be determined by the DM (e.g., if it is a spellcaster, but think of this as the creatures interpreting your command). If no command is given, the creature takes the Dodge action. If the creature under your control takes damage, you must make a concentration check in order to maintain control over that creature. You may dismiss the controlled creature as an Action, causing them to be instantly destroyed.
