Hail Tanthalas,
Actually, as boring as this sounds, they are direct figures: it is exactly as it sounds. When you're attacked, your attacker takes X damage; when you're attacked, the damage is reduced by X. Some examples...
You have Attacker Takes Damage of 5 on. Fallen strikes you, and recieves five (physical?) damage for its efforts. You may get a free kill, if you're lucky ;)
You have Damage Reduced by 30. Arnie Fallenegger strikes you and rolls 100 damage; damage is reduced by 30, so you recieve 70 damage.
Nothing overly exciting really :\ Perhaps worth noting that direct damage reduction comes *after* percentage reduction (eg Shaftstop) :)

May the wind pick up your heels and your sword strike true.
