[@Claw2k11] If it's inherited from your clan, it's probably still a Divine Protection. It's just a racial Divine Protection like Malakaus, and it'd still be a 1:10000000 for you to have more than one blessing. 1:1000000 for unique one on top of that, since I imagine that soul eating isn't a common ability even for the magically adapted. 

As for how Vesta protects against melee, I imagine it involves something as simple as rock armor, or just putting a hole underneath you when you're within melee range. Because the issue with melee range is that you know where they're at: melee range. At least with ranged attacks you could threaten from ten feet or a hundred feet, but melee range is pretty straightforward.
