If it's a straight number, it's a straight reduction (i.e. damage reduced by 5 reduces by 5 points any physical damage you receive). Percentage damage reduced, which is capped at 50%, reduces the physical damage you receive by a percentage.

Absorb works in the same general way, though there are some minor points concerning the order in which resists, absorb, and damage received are dealt which I can't remember offhand. Also, elemental absorb is capped at 40%.

"Life is sacred and you are not its steward. You have stewardship over it but you don't own it. You're making a choice to go through this, it's not just happening to you. You're inviting it, and in some ways delighting in it. It's not accidental or coincidental. You're choosing it. You have to realize you've made choices."

But I've had dinner with the Devil and
I know nice from right.
