Damage soaking
From Emps-World Wiki
Damage soaking is a defensive stat bonus which indicates how much of the damage you receive is nullified. For example, if you were to get hit 20 and your damage soaking bonus is 5, the attack would be reduced to 15. Damage soaking bonus scales from the defence bonuses of the armour you are wearing, with each item having a flat Damage soaking bonus. This works against all types of combat damage.
Trivia
- The best Damage soaking armour is Torag's armour with a flat bonus of 8
- Damage soaking does not reduce damage received from non-combat hits such as poison and failing agility obstacles
