I am CH and I thought Squad Leader might be a good 2nd profession, but I was wondering how the +10 to defense actually worked? For example, is it just straight damage reduction (Damage Done -10) = Damage Received? Or does it work some other way?

Melee Defense and Ranged Defense are not dmg reducers they are damage avoiders.


Example: Tough guy has base of 50% melee combat, with a couple of boxes in brawler he has +20 to unarmed accuracy


Tough guy total accuracy = 70%


Melee optimal range = -5%


Tough guy accuracy = 65%


Your melee defense, say 15%


Tough guy accuracy = 65%-15% = 50%


With +10 melee defense group bonus it would be 50%-10%= 40%



So tough guy only has a 40% chance to land those punches on you.



Think of them as hit percentages. (Even though I've simplified the combat model somewhat)
