Protect (Final Fantasy XII status)

Protect is a status in Final Fantasy XII that reduces physical damage taken from most sources by 25% for a duration. Its magick damage counterpart is Shell.
The formula for the duration is:
:Duration = 60 + (Vitality \times 0.6) s
Guns and measures ignore a target's Protect status. Protect is good for mitigating damage, though the effect is not massive. It can be especially useful on frontline fighters with melee weapons or anyone with Berserk or Lure.
==Abilities==
"Auto-Protect" equipment	Shielded Armor
Item 	Baltoro Seed
Spell 	Protect & Protectga (Green [OG] / White Magicks [Zodiac])
Weapon 	Gilt Measure
Picking up loot with highest chain level sometimes buffs the player party with Protect and/or Shell.
In the original PlayStation 2 version, Stamp can transfer positive statuses as well as negative to any target and thus can be used to bestow Protect when the user has it; this was changed in the Zodiac versions so only ailments can be transferred with Stamp to enemies.
