According to the TKA Forum Stickies, it works like this:

Toughness is essentially added Melee defense. Let's say you have 25 toughness, this essentially becomes +25 Melee defense while using the weapon you have the toughness with. Hope this helps, sadly, I don't think it has any efect against ranged.

if thats the case then they need to fix the tooltip text for the mod+'s.... it reads something along the lines of "reduces damage taken".... but i think thats what it actually is, based on observation while playing....

Yes, toughness is what reduces the damage you take while unarmoured. I read it is meant to work for all damage types but it seems to only work on Melee attacks, to me.

From what I understand, if you have a toughness of 24, then you have 24% resistance to melee damage. That's what I've been told, and it seems to be true.

Toughness is a direct % of damage reduction. +25 Toughness is 25% damage reduction. +57 Toughness (TKM) is 57% damage reduction.

This works against melee attacks only. It seems to work vs Powerhammers and Vibrolances, so I don't think it's damage type specific, just delivery. It stacks with armor, which is why in a previous thread I had said that even with armor and DR food, you can't beat toughness. A M Brawler/ TKM with some ubese (or high kinetic composite) can abosorb a ridiculous amount of melee damage, and M Swordsman come in with a close second.
