are tapes that start "one-handed melee defense" working? i would think they would say "one-handed defense" as that matches the description in the chracter information window of the defenses that are fencer specific.

They work. Try it on and press CTRL+C to view your char.
There is a checkbox that shows all. There you will se that it both adds to ranged and melee defence.

It doesnt seem to work,I tried it today on 3 types of creatures, all ended up doing same damage against me in PvE. And Dueling talason (Pikeman on Scylla) showed no signs of aid. Same with Jedi duels. But its nice to have in a suit

They appear on your stats, but I did a very small amount of testing and I got the impression they weren't actually adding any defense.
I have a setof clothes that give +25 One-Handed Defense. I took them off, let a creature hit me a few times, then put them on. Same damage was being done to me.
I'm pretty sure the stat works when it actually comes from your template, as when I switch to unarmed I take less damage, which can only be happening due to the extra Unarmed Defense TK gets.
I get the feeling this is also true for any general Melee Defense stats you have on your clothes, and the food that adds it as well. I did the same test with the food that adds +90 or so Melee Defense and I took the same damage.
So, it would be nice if more testing was done on this to make sure others are seeing the same things.
(This post was written under the impression that after the CU defense only reduces damage, and doesn't increase chance for the enemy to miss you. If that's not the case let me know...)

It seems like the correspondentbelives its a working mod. Look at the last post.

All the correspondant says is that it adds to the Melee and Ranged Defense numbers on your Character Screen. It does, but it doesn't actually effect your defenses. You will still take the same damage as before.

the food that supposedly adds +90 to melee defense shows up but does not actually work. it appears that that would be the same case with this mod.
