Hmmm. I do not know. I use the Guard function, but not the Protect one. I think I got it to work when I experimented upon first getting the game. Bear with me for a few hours and I'll get back to you (I'm supposedly "at work" right now, hence I cannot play IWD).

I'm not sure that you want to use Protect over Guard anyway. I believe Protect only targets creatures that target the character protected. If you have two fighters at the front, or if the enemies switch their targets, the character who is protecting will not do anything.

You've got good tactics with Guard. I'll get back to you in about 7 hours about Protect, if no one else has figured it out/enlightened us yet.
