Damage absorption
- Each point of damage absorption absorbs one damage when you are hit. This effect takes place after the damage calculation based on offense and defense is done.
- Percentile absorb is done independently of non-percentile absorb, and are applied on the total damage.
- Visiting the Hero's Guild with 50 or more damage absorption grants the More than One Way to Hunt a Bounty merit badge
- Amounts for Skills are affected by S, the number of
skill points invested in the skill.
