Reentering Magic Circle Vs. Evil

[Bregick84]

So, I disagree with my playgroup that denies that when you reenter an ally's circle that you get to make a new save against an effect that exerts control over them.

They do, in fact, get to make a reroll on their save if I am correct.

Can anyone confirm or provide an official link to the correct answer?

Thanks ahead of time!

This is what the spell says about reentering:
"Creatures in the area, or who later enter the area, receive only one attempt to suppress effects that are controlling them. If successful, such effects are suppressed as long as they remain in the area. Creatures that leave the area and come back are not protected."

A creature gets one reroll on mental control for each instance of the spell. But, that reroll doesn't have to used immediately or anything. They just get that one reroll the first time they are under control and in the circle.

No, they do not get to leave and come back and get multiple saves. The spell even says creatures that leave and come back are not protected, and it says they get one save.

You get only one attempt. If you leave and come back later, you are "not protected" - it seems the spell is more lenient towards late entry than to people wandering in and out.

Circles only provide the supression roll once, as long as the creature making the roll enters the circle for the first time, or the circle is cast catching the dominated creature on it's area. A creature that started "inside" the circle, leaves the circle and enters it again no longer gains the benefits.

Also be aware, if the circle or the protection spell is cast reactively (on a currently dominated creature), the creature doesn't get a roll to terminate the domination effect; she gets a roll to supress the domination effect as long as the protection spell lasts or she stays inside the circle. If the spell ends and the domination effect is still active, the domination resumes normally.

I think I have a much clearer idea of how this works, and I was partially right.

Thanks, guys!
