turning charisma

[painkiller3]

what's the max charisma you need for turning? if I look a the wiki the only thing Charisma affects is the turning check...so if we get a bonus of +21 to CHA (52 Charisma if my math is right?) that's all we need to max turning? assuming items, bonuses, past lives, etc too...have I missed something?

Turning check:
Your effective turning level.
A die roll (1d20 + your charisma modifier) that adds a positive/negative bonus (from -4 to +4) according to the table on the right.
Any bonus to your maximum hit dice from other sources.

For the turn check, that is correct, +21 bonus, 52 Charisma is all you need. However, additional Charisma bonus will still add to the turning damage.
