Protection from Evil

This spell wards the cleric from attacks by creatures of another alignment, as follows:

• The cleric gains a +1 bonus to saving throws against attacks or special abilities of affected creatures.
• Affected creatures' attacks against the cleric are penalised by -1.

Additionally, the spell prevents enchanted, constructed, or summoned creatures from attacking the cleric in melee, though they may still make ranged attacks. If the cleric engages such a creature in melee, this protection is broken (the cleric still gains the bonuses to saving throws and attack rolls mentioned above).
