Within Mids', as I slot this radiation/dark blaster I'm hoping to be able to create, I realize I have forgotten something. Let us say, that somehow, I remembered to build for some bonus set defense - I've got some Smashing/Lethal defense of, say 30%. But, I have melee defense of 15% and also ranged defense of only 15%.
How will the game handle this? Will I have 15% defense against a freak in melee doing s/l damage? or will I have 30% because of the type of damage the freak is dishing out? (or trying to and missing, hopefully)
I used to know this, but it seems I've forgotten. Getting older, I guess.
