OK, I thought I understood, but no. Let's take the example of Abysians scorpion-men : I took the bonus for them and could at last summon some. Bonus for total protection is 21+2, so it's maybe not worth the cost of the bless.

They have a natural protection of 14 and wear a plate cuirass of 14. Here's how I try to calculate the values, but it doesn't fit. Where am I wrong ?

Without bless :

natural : 14
head : 0+14=14 (no protection, so no bonus added, just the natural value) : OK
body : 14+(14/2)=21 (armor protection + half the natural value as he wears an armor) : should be 23.
total : 14+(14/2)=21 (Highest+Half the lowest)

With bless :

natural : 14
head : 0+14=14 : no armor, so no bonus
body : (14+4)+(14/2)=25 (armor protection + half the natural value as he wears an armor) : should be 26
total : (14+4)+(14/2)=25 : (Highest+Half the lowest) : Argh, should be 23
