So here's where we are on PROTECT.

1) A potential crash bug (!!) has been eradicated with extreme prejudice.

2) PROTECT DEFLECT is buggy in a bad way. I put a temporary fix into it, but it'll still show very extreme results without a more extensive rewrite. You're still very likely to succeed and get a total deflection, but now it isn't so insane that a 16th circle Paladin can deflect a sky giant (my test conditions today).

For the curious, it actually was possible to fail the Deflect contest, it just involved numbers even lower than the example I used.

3) PROTECT COVER was buggy in a less bad way. It should now be fixed. Please play around with it and let me know.

Like the other Paladin changes, it'll be in Prime and Plat for awhile before migrating to Fallen.
