Yeah, try telling this nonsense to the people of Vietnam. Or Algeria. Or anywhere that was forced to undergo a long occupation. The example occupations I used weren't even as brutal as this hypothetical one sounds.

More than half would risk their lives in a fight against the invading power, mostly without hesitation, and nearly another quarter would lend their support in other ways.

They are definitely cumulative the same way armor is, for a total of about 36% reduction. That I can say for sure.

Also, I'm skeptical that the randomization would be per point of damage. In that case, wouldn't we expect naturally very low damage outputs to hit 0 damage post-reduction every so often with enough armor? Yet that's extremely rare.

3) Armor reduces damage exactly as the manual says: each piece does its reduction separately, at face value. (i.e., wearing a 20% and a 10% piece will reduce your damage taken by 28%, not 30%.)

HOWEVER, this is true only ON AVERAGE. The actual reduction to each blow varied from 9% to 30% when wearing one 20% piece. When wearing one 34% piece it varied from 24% to 44%. However, I didn't test weaker armor. I can't imagine a 2% piece of armor ranges up to 12% reductions.

5) One thing, at least, is sane. Spells. Protection gives a FLAT 20% damage reduction to all phyiscal damage, period. Steel Skin does the same thing, and the two effects are cumulative.

What you've done in state 19 runs contrary to what I've set up, so I'm not going to include it, but what you've done in state 96 is interesting: you've made it possible to cast blessing special spells on a joined NPC. This hardly seems necessary, but if there's demand for it, I'll include it.

There are a few quests like Splinterfang in Citadel Gates where you have to kill in order to get the next quest.
