[QUOTE="jontherev, post: 101035, member: 1451"] [B][/b] Thanks for the unnecessary condecension. I believe I was the first person to provide that very quote on this thread. Now perhaps you'll actually read my post. No it certainly is NOT clear. Note, that I'm going on the SRD here since I'm not at home. 99% of the time the SRD is right. Here is the description for Protection from Good:"As protection from evil, except that the deflection and resistance bonuses apply to attacks from good creatures, and [b][i]good[/i][/b][i][/i] summoned or conjured creatures cannot touch the subject." All Protection spells say this except PfEvil. I think it is a typo or mistake that PfEvil does not specify that it only should work against only EVIL summoned creatures (and opposite aligned elemental/outsiders). Otherwise, it doesn't make sense logically. All of these spells should work the same imo. So, looking at ALL of the spells TOGETHER, I think PfEvil works against EVIL summoned creatures, including neutral or evil outsiders or elementals. Think about it. Why should a Protection from Evil spell work against a Celestial Hawk? That makes absolutely NO sense when you have another spell you should use instead. I think it is confusing and needs clarification. And, as an example, Protection from Law would work against chaotic summoned creatures or neutral or lawful elementals/outsiders. Does anyone understand my point or am I just going insane?:D At the very least, admit that it's not exactly crystal clear. [/QUOTE]
