alright, everyone...
ive asked this of the sage, ive asked askwizards, and neither of them have bothered to answer this: what does the protective aura special ability of this prestige class do? it references an apparently non-existant protective aura spell. at this point, im just wondering what it does...
thanks all,
tog
edit: mr. jacobs, mr. mona (and anyone else with a look inside), inside info on where this spell disappeared to would be a wonderful addition, too. - tog
I can't find reference to a protective aura spell. However, there is the protective ward supernatural ability of the protection domain. I guess I'd use that.
Nice observation. I would suggest checking the pre-polymorph errata for BOED. I checked and do not have it. IMO I would say the protective aura spell was changed to Bastion of Good. Usually when one achieves a spell-like ability from a prestige class they like to have the level equal to one available to the caster if he was a full caster.
ex- The defender of Sealtiel must be at least 7th level to take the prestige class, req. +7 base attack. The protective aura is first available at 6th level. This would mean a minimum 13th level caster who would have at best a 7th level spell. Bastion of Good is a 7th level spell.
Sorry I could not help more.
I found protective aura. It's a supernatural ability possessed by Angels. It provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus to saving throws (both versus evil effects or effects generated by evil characters) to anyone within 20 feet of the originating character. It also functions as a magic circle against evil and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both out to 20 feet.
So, since that's exactly the effects of bastion of good, Baramay is correct.

Nice work, Thanis! Gary Sinese on CSI couldn't have done any better.
Eh, anybody can do the legwork; Baramay had the snap intuition. "That kid's got talent." :-)
you guys rock... i knew someone here could put together the correct info. i cannot believe that wotc basically ignored the question. i think i got stuck trying to find the non-existant spell and left it at that. thanks guys.
