What is the best word for 'may not be attacked'?


I am attempting to translate a D&D character sheet into Japanese, and I am
running into difficulty with a line saying that 'the target (of a particular
blessing) may not be attacked.' Though I am reasonably confident in my guess
of 目標 for 'target', I have been at a loss for the correct verb. It seems like
I need the negative potential form of an intransitive verb here, but the only
intransitive 'to attack' verbs I can find are 撃つ, which seems to most commonly
mean 'to be shot (at)' and 攻め込む, which appears to be have the connotation of
large scale attacks, such as by a military. Is there a better word here?




**TLDR;** try: `(blessing)されてる対象への攻撃は禁止。`

**Edit:** According to native speaker @TsuyoshiIto, `されてる` can be dropped
leaving: `(blessing)の対象への攻撃は禁止。` which would read as "Attacks on blessed
targets is prohibited".

**Original post:** I'm not a native speaker but something like
`(blessing)されてる対象を攻撃することはできません。` "Targets affected by (blessing) cannot be
attacked." should be understood.

Instead of `攻撃することはできません。` (cannot be attacked) you could also say:

  * `は攻撃されません。` Will not be attacked.
  * `を攻撃することは禁止です。` Attacking is prohibited.
  * `への攻撃は禁止です。` Attacks are prohibited. (Attack is a noun in this sentence; makes sense in Japanese but doesn't quite fit the English grammar)

There are a number of ways to convey this and I'm not sure what the best or
most native would be.

If this is on a character sheet, something compressed like
`(blessing)されてる対象への攻撃は禁止。` should be understood. This is what I would
personally write if I was translating it, meaning "Attacks on targets affected
by (blessing) are prohibited."

Literally:

  * `(blessing)されてる` Affected by (blessing)
  * `対象` target
  * `への` (on)
  * `攻撃は` attack (as a noun)
  * `禁止` prohibited

`禁止` could also be replaced by `不可能` (impossible) but I would go with `禁止` as
this is a rule.
