Protection from evil spell Q

[Michael Dupler]

Sorry if this has been already ruled on but I couldn't find the specific ruling.

per Pro evil spell
This spell wards a creature from attacks by evil creatures, from mental control, and from summoned creatures. It creates a magical barrier around the subject at a distance of 1 foot. The barrier moves with the subject and has three major effects.

then
Third, the spell prevents bodily contact by evil summoned creatures. This causes the natural weapon attacks of such creatures to fail and the creatures to recoil if such attacks require touching the warded creature. Summoned creatures that are not evil are immune to this effect. The protection against contact by summoned creatures ends if the warded creature makes an attack against or tries to force the barrier against the blocked creature. Spell resistance can allow a creature to overcome this protection and touch the warded creature.

just to make sure of the wording, a summoned evil creature that uses a weapon or throws something at the warded person should work, right? Also spells that are not trying to mentally control should work as well? Lighting bolts, fireballs and the like? Pro evil only prevents touching and natural weapons from working and only if they are evil?

thanks

1. Yes, though the subject would still get a +2 deflection bonus to AC against those attacks.
2. Yes, though the subject would still get a +2 resistance bonus to saving throws against those spells.

Correct for those two aspects. An evil summoned creature with spell resistance gets a chance to test it against the caster's spell penetration to make bodily contacts though.

The spell also give a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus to saves. This can block weapon attacks and non mind control spells and spell resistant evil summoned monsters that succesfully are able to make bodily contact.

.

Or the protected creature can negate the protection when they force body contact themselves.
