[QUOTE="Alejandro, post: 286330, member: 248"] Christian, I'm not trying to ignore your post. The first section of your post was quite clear, in that you're referencing the difference between Called creatures and Summoned creatures. I agree with your "no" answer. The second section of your post dealt with the usage of Magic Circles as they are specifically focused inward in Planar Binding spells. Outward-facing Magic Circles do not protect against bodily contact from Called creatures, nor can inward-facing Magic Circles be used except in conjuction with binding spells. I agree with the fact that Magic Circles can be used in bindings, but the question is about Gate. The description of Gate does not provide for the usage of Magic Circles, and Gate's bargaining process is different than the bargaining process described in the binding spells. This is why I answered that Gated creatures are Called, not Summoned, and cannot be warded against with Protection spells unless you believe that it's better to use the actual school (Conjuration) rather than the specific subschool (Calling or Summoning).
