Beanstalker: So as far as I could find, armor only affects to-hit chance in MM6, and there is no such thing as a physical resistance stat.

However, I have seen damage numbers that should be impossible without some form of damage reduction.

Examples:
With a longbow (5d2 + 0), my Archer hit a Veteran for a single point of damage, minimum should be 5.
With a piercing dagger (2d3 +4), Might 13 (-1) and Heroism running (skill level 4 -> +9), my Sorcerer hit for 5 damage, minimum should be 14.

Perhaps there is some sort of "glancing blow" mechanic?

edit: Now that I think about it, since slimes don't take any phys damage at all, there has to be some sort of resistance stat. Or is that a simple immunity flag?
