Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scharlata" data-source="post: 2232198" data-attributes="member: 4806">Hi, celestial beings and other kinds of angelic creatures!Protective Aura (Su) [as described in the MM, p. 10, Angel] is a powerful but yet ambiguous feature of the Angels and some other types of Upper-Plane-Critters.As the MM states, the Protective Aura provides an AC bonus and a ST bonus to all within the area of effect. It furthermore functions like a magic circle against evil [MCaE] effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability [LGoI] effect with a radius of 20 feet with a caster level = angel's HD. The aura can be dispelled.My questions are as follows:1.) Is the Protective Aura mobile? [LGoI is normally immobile.]2.) Is it possible to dismiss the MCaE part of the effect, since the spell MCaE can't be dismissed?3.) Is it possible to dismiss the LGoI part of the effect, since the LGoI can be dismissed?4.) If you can dismiss only one part of the effect, is it possible to dismiss both parts of the effect together, neither of both parts, only the dismissible part of the effect?5.) How is it possible for an angel to attack a foe if the angel hasn't beat the spell resistance of the opponent (see MCaE effect)? Is it true that the angel breaks this part of the MCaE effect automatically if it corners the opponent or moves toward the foe?6.) How could the angel possibly heal anyone in need [or use any other Touch or short range spell or spell-like ability within] if the LGoI effect is still operating and the effect weren't dismissible?7.) If one of the parts of the effect is dismissible, how long does it take to do that? Is it a standard action as normal?8.) The caster level of the effect is equal to the Hit Dice of the angel. How long is the duration of the effect? 10 minutes per level as per the MCaE part of the effect or 1 round per level as per the LGoI part of the effect? Do the parts have separated durations?9.) Is the Protective Aura a nuisance or do you like it?Thanx for your time.</blockquote>
