The globe of protection of this spell is identical in all respects to a protection from evil (q.v.) spell, except that it encompasses a much larger area and the duration of the protection from evil, 10-ft radius spell is greater.

To complete this spell, the cleric must trace a circle 20-ft in diameter using holy water or blood, incense or smouldering dung as according to the protection from evil spell.

DMG p.65. Monster Charm Power. Magic circles of protection (spells or specially drawn) will break the communication link and seemingly cause the charm to be broken, but unless magically dispelled, or until the power of the magic wears off, the effect is again evident when the charmee is outside such protection.

Campaign Rule. A protection 10-ft radius spell acts as does a drawn magical Circle of Protection against monster charm powers where commands are given mentally. The charm itself is not broken, and if verbal communcation is possible, the charmed individual will still obey the request. The abjuration will prevent the control from being established. Important Note: This protection only affects "monster charm powers", NOT spells or magical device control attempts such as potions of control or rods or staves.

Dragon #153, Sage Advice: Q: "Does the circle of protection from a protection from evil, 10 ft. radius spell move with the caster?" A: Yes, both versions of the protection from evil spell move with the caster.

Dragon #33, Welcome to Leomund's Tiny Hut: Protection From Evil: If a figure so protected goes up to an opponent which is not allowed a physical touch because of the spell, and starts to beat on him/her/it, that opponent is NOT prevented from returning the blows! But as soon as the figure ceases and backs off, assuming the spell is still in effect, the Protection again applies. This ruling was agreed to by Gary Gygax when we discussed will-o-the-wisps and protection from evil. Naturally, a protected figure could discharge missiles or spells and still be protected from physical touch. -Lenard Lakofka

DMG, p.70. Important Note Regarding "To Hit" Adjustments: Certain spells such as curse, prayer, and protection from evil adjust the chance "to hit" of either the attacker or the defender or both. Such changes MUST be made to the armor class of the figure concerned, not to the dice score rolled in attacking. An inspection of the combat tables will show that the dice roll progression will make some opponents hit proof if the dice rolls are adjusted downwards rather than the armor class being moved upwards. (At some point, the upwards armor class adjustment could also make such opponents virtually invulnerable, but this is less likely and not necessarily undesirable.) Example: A reverse bless, a curse, is cast upon opponents. Therefore, the effective armor class of the side which cast the spell will be raised by one category, so that a figure normally of armor class 4 will be treated as 3, 3 as 2, etc. By so doing it is still possible for opponents to roll natural 20s and thus score hits.
