Defense modifiers

This page contains some non specific data which NEEDS SPADING: What are the constants? How does randomness get into the calculation?

• According to the manual, your basic defense is the sum of the power of the boots, full-body suit, gloves, helmet, offhand, pants and shirt you are wearing. Defense modifiers are applied to this value.
• The damage sustained is calculated as OpponentOffense*(a+b/Defense) where a and b are yet to be determined constants, smaller than one.
• Amounts for Skills are affected by S, the number of skill points invested in the skill.
