Some questions about "Protection"  (Ron, don't panic, this should be short and easy...)

1) Can a demon have among his powers "protection against banishment", increasing the dice he rolls against being banished, or "protection against punishment"? (against being punished by someone who has to roll to do it)
2) Can a demon have "protection against being commanded"? (resulting in a very stubborn demon)
3) From the wording on the manual, it seems that a demon can have "protection against Psychic Force", and it work against any psychic force attack, no matter how the power is "colored" by different opponents (he would be protected by a "I can block the blood in your brain" attack like he would be protected by a "I will make you feel pain!" attack in the same way, if they are both Psychic Force attack, without having to choose one kind beforehand) It's the correct reading?

NO. Protection is only vs. non-impact attacks. Banishing is not an attack; it does no damage.

Quote2) Can a demon have "protection against being commanded"? (resulting in a very stubborn demon)

NO. A command is not an attack; it does no damage.

Yes.
