			Some non-magical poison and disease attacks may also involve a warding attack. For example, from time to time skinning a [[Kiramon defender]] occasionally results in a warding attack which results in being poisoned if you fail. However, skinning a [[Tree viper]] also risks being poisoned, but that is not a (visible) warding attack and does not use Target Defense.

Conversely, if a spell adds +15 Sorcerer TD, then it will add +11 to Elemental and Spiritual TDs and +7 to Mental TD.

			TD may be decreased due to the [[Multi-Opponent Combat\|Force on Force]] effect when defending against multiple enemies, if the number of enemies exceeds the defender's Multi-Opponent Combat training. For every enemy above one's Force on Force limit, actual TD is lowered by about 2.5% of the base TD value.
