Talk:Physical Resistance Rating

Should we put something on this page discussing how Mithral is borked i.e. Calvary Plate being classed as medium not heavy, but PRR only being for medium? Christopher G Lewis (Contributions &bull; Message)

DR and PRR
Added an explanation of how PRR and DR interact. I had someone throw a shuriken at my monk with DR 10/epic and 72 PRR. He had a +12 str mod, was using +5 shuriken, and had a +2 damage ship buff for 19+1d2. It hit me for 6-7 damage. If PRR applied first, the damage would look like:


 * 20 * 66.52% - 10 = 3.304
 * 21 * 66.52% - 10 = 3.9692

With DR applying first, the damage looks like:


 * (20 - 10) * 66.52% = 6.652
 * (21 - 10) * 66.52% = 7.3172

Since my incoming damage was 6-7, it not only appears that DR applies first, but the damage reduced by PRR is rounded up (damage received is rounded down).--Peng (Contributions &bull; Message) 05:25, February 7, 2013 (EST)
