Protection from Normal Weapons - This combat defensive spell prevents non-magical weapons from hitting you, which can include anything from a bear’s paw to a sword. Fire will still harm you, as will cold, acid, magic, and so forth.
Does Toughen have any sort of advantage over Protection From Normal Weapons? I don't see what it could be, unless "prevents" means "reduces the odds of hitting".

Ill be happy to discuss this more detail
Suppose your enemy has a normal flail. With Toughen, you would take 2 damage per hit (the minimum allowed damage). With Pro from Non Magic weapons, you wouldn't take anything.
Now, suppose they have a +1 magic flail. Toughen only gets 3 damage through, and Pro prevents nothing, thus allowing 1d6+2 damage in.
Toughen and pro only works on weapons, so spells, breaths, fire, acid, and other things will not be reduced. Also, if a weapon is poisoned and strikes you, you won't take the physical damage, but the poison damage, if any, won;t be reduced by either of these spells.
