[QUOTE="Stone Dog, post: 4059103, member: 16705"] Nope. Doesn't matter who has attacked who in any way. The targets don't even have to be combatants. The spell dictates that they attact your opponents. As long as the caster is perfectly clear who the opponents are (as in; An individual or group who is your rival, one who attempts to stop your progression or one who objects to you.), they go after the opponents regardless of how a creature might personally define "enemy." I can summon celestials to slaughter good people serving the same god if I want to (well, not as a cleric). They will do it. They will wail and lament, but they will do it. My reading is the one that says Protection from X protects from X and not something that isn't X. I have to admit that this one would be a house ruling according to the RAW. Sorry about that. As far as the RAW goes, I have to admit you are right about that part. As ridiculous as it is, Protection from Evil can protect you from something that isn't Evil and Protection from Good can protect you from something that isn't Good. My mistake there. [/QUOTE]
