+{{:abilities:affliction_resistance.png?nolink }} **Affliction Resistance**, also known as **Wound Fend**, prevents [[Afflictions]] from occurring. This is portrayed in various forms; as unusual resilience in the respective organs/bones, and as a sort of fluidness that makes structural damage difficult.
+The former kind is given by [[Earth]] magic, though mainly indirectly; for example, those with {{path>E4}} or higher get Affliction Resistance 1, while an Earth [[Bless]] can grant Affliction Resistance 3. The latter kind is given by [[Water]] magic through the ??Liquid Body?? chain of spells; these grant Affliction Resistance 1. These stack but are otherwise all the same effect.
+Affliction Resistance provides a chance to disregard the //actual// odds of a hit causing an Affliction, making those odds **1-in-200** instead. This could, in theory, make Afflictions //more// likely to happen, but those cases are very rare; a fellow with 300 max [[Hit Points|HP]] taking 1 point of damage, for example. The odds of Affliction Resistance kicking in are equal to the point value, divided by the point value plus 1:
+^  Affliction Resistance  ^  Chance to Kick In  ^
+|  0  |  0/1 (0%)  |
+|  1  |  1/2 (50%)  |
+|  2  |  2/3 (66%)  |
+|  3  |  3/4 (75%)  |
+|  4  |  4/5 (80%)  |
+|  //n//  |  //n// ÷ (//n// + 1)  |
+|  99  |  99/100  (99%)  |
+Affliction Resistance overrides [[Cursed|Curses]] and [[Regeneration]], if it kicks in. You can look at it from the other direction, though, with Regeneration quickly trying to fix the stuff that got through Affliction Resistance.
