Defense
Each character in the game has defense factors that reduce incomimg damage. There are four main parameters in the character sheet:
- Armor - reduces the physical damage that you receive. Most of the weapons deal this type of damage. It is a very important factor for characters that fight in the first line.
- Resistance - this factor reduces the following types of damage: energy, chemical, mental, transdimensional. This type of damage is usually dealt by esoteries and cyphers.
- Evasion - it increases your chances of dodging a weapon or projectile attack. Each 2 Speed points increase the evasion by 5%.
- Willpower - increases your chances to resist esoteric attacks. Each 2 Intellect points increase the willpower by 5%
Defense factors are increased mainly by spells and powerful artifacts. The wisest thing to do is to give them to your characters that fight in close combat and keep Nanos or other characters that use ranged weapons at a safe distance.
