[QUOTE="AuraSeer, post: 458759, member: 1331"] No. It prevents "possession" and "excercising mental control", but [i]Hold Person[/i] is neither. If the protection spells were intended to stop all mind-affecting spells, the description would say so. If the caster of the [i]Hold Person[/i] is of the appropriate alignment, the protected person does get +2 to his saving throw, just as for all other spells and attacks. [b][/b] There is no such spell in 3rd edition. ;) The spell has been changed to [i]Magic Circle Against Evil[/i]. When cast, the target becomes the center of an emanation with 10' radius. That emanation moves with the target, and only people actually within its radius are protected. Example: Bob casts [i]Magic Circle Against Evil[/i] on himself. His buddy Fred is standing 5' away. Both are protected by the spell. Fred charges to attack a monster, and ends up 30' from Bob. He has now moved outside the [i]circle[/i]'s radius, so he loses its protection. Their other friend, Steve, moves over and stands next to Bob. Steve is now inside the circle and benefits from its effects. [/QUOTE]
