The two things still throwing me off are:

1.

...Corruption resistance protects against spells, spell-like abilities, and special abilities

as far as i know special abilities include extraordinary abilities like favored enemy.

2. as far as i know, if i pick Outsider for my bane weapon/favored enemy i can choose Outsider(evil).
actually Outsider(Devil) or Outsider(Demon) isn't even suggested as an option in the PRD while Outsider(Evil) is.

anyway, thank you for replying.

Thank you.

1. Yeah that's pretty much the way i see it.
2. I was thinking that since bane or the ranger special ability targets a specific type of outsiders (Evil ones) the spell would grant them a damage reduction.

oh well, guess i'll have to think of better ways to make my demonic bosses more survivable against my group's ranger =)

Anyone?

So pretty much like the title says, i'm trying to understand how this spell works.

You grant the touched creature limited protection from magical effects that inflict damage based on the target creature's alignment, such as holy smite, order's wrath, a paladin's smite evil attack, or an unholy weapon.

...Corruption resistance protects against spells, spell-like abilities, and special abilities, not physical attacks. Corruption resistance only protects against damage.

1. So if i'm using a holy weapon vs a demon with this spell, what happens exactly regarding the "not physical attacks" part?

2. what about a ranger with Evil outsider favored enemy (or bane weapon) vs said demon? does this spell help against those?
attack bonus still apply but extra damage get reduced ?

thanks in advance.
