Protection Circles

Unread post by darthauthor »

Good Day,

Does the protection Circle simple keep people and animals out too?

Or just lessor supernatural beings?

Zombies?

Astral projectors?

Very respectfully,

No the "Protection Circle: Simple" will not keep out people or animals*.

Zombies I would say yes those could be kept at bay, though will note there is a Protection Circle that is optimized for them which could indicate PC:Simple won't work on them.

Astral Projection. No. While they may qualify as "entities", they don't have any real ability to interact on the physical plane. There is a Protection Circle that will protect you specifically, which also leads me to think the answer is no.

*Technically you can accomplish this by creating a "Sealed Circle" which will only allow the creator and those specifically identified by them to enter w/o making a Save vs Magic (or take damage/penalties). This is based on the Summoner Class in Palladium Fantasy, which uses Circle Magic (PF2E pg135-55).
