As per Balo's discovery upon working with Rangers'
animals, any object cannot be protected by more than
one protector at a time. This explains the general
flakiness when trying to have more than one protector.
We need to discover if this is a logic error, or a
simple design flaw. Protection needs to work with
multiple protectors and people need to be able to
protect more than one target. I think that protecting
more than one person should not be as reliable as
protecting one, so more hits should 'get through'. I
also think that more objects protecting one person
should make almost no hits get through. I also think
that we should have a finer contorl of the logic that
is applied in the case of multiple protectance - in
other words, if I am protected by three snakes, does
each of the snakes take a different hit in order -
like 'round robin' style? Or does one snake take this
hits until he is dead, then the next steps in?

    Ill need to redesign how protect works. Hopefully when we
    get the new party system in we wont use protect the same
    way we use it right now.

    Actually you can only have one protector. I need to figure out
    how to make this work in a reasonable way. Really what I
    want to do is put this off till we have a rank/column based
    group system, and apply protection based on your location in
    the group.
