Protection Domain

Your faith is your greatest source of protection, and you can use that faith to defend others. In addition, you receive a +1 Resistance Bonus on Saving Throws. This bonus increases by 1 for every 5 levels you possess.

Granted Powers

Resistant Touch (Sp): As a Standard Action, you can touch an ally to grant him your Resistance Bonus for 1 minute. When you use this ability, you lose your Resistance Bonus granted by the Protection domain for 1 minute. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Aura of Protection (Su): At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of protection for a number of rounds per day equal to your Cleric level. You and your allies within this aura gain a +1 Deflection Bonus to AC and resistance 5 against all elements (acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic). The Deflection Bonus increases by +1 for every four Cleric levels you possess beyond 8th. At 14th level, the resistance against all elements increases to 10. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
