'''Redux''', also known as Damage Reduction, is the ability of a character to resist damage as a result of physical training, resulting in less health loss as well as reducing or negating the severity of a wound. This is not to be confused with [[Defensive Strength]] (DS), which reduces the endroll in the combat formula. Redux does not activate until the character is successfully hit, when it will reduce the damage correspondingly.

RP: Redux Points: These are obtained from training in physical [[skill]]s for your character. Each physical skill grants a specific quantity of points that are used in subsequent calculations.


No, not done, I'll write up more. But I didn't need the Redux page in my sandbox area.
F: Redux Floor: Based on your level, there is a certain quantity of Redux Points required in order to 'activate' Redux.
Should be a sandbox page you say? I'm not using this for anything else. why are you checking my user page so much. Calm down. I've got this.

Spell Penalty Tier: Spell Penalties are bucketed as a function of your individual spell research training relative to your level. Each tier applies a level of penalty against your current Redux quantity.

Spell Penalty: A function of the Spell Penalty Tier, the actual amount of reduction of Redux.


==Redux Points==
Redux is achieved by training in physical [[skill]]s, and are divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary skills. Primary skills provide 10 "points" towards redux, secondary skills provide 4 points, and tertiary provide 3 points.

{{equation box|{{math|1=RP = (Primary * 50) + (Secondary * 20) + (Tertiary * 15)}}}}

===Primary Skill: 50 points per rank===
* [[Physical Fitness]]

===Secondary Skills: 20 points per rank===
* [[Ambush]]
* [[Armor Use]]
* [[Combat Maneuvers]]
* [[Dodging]]
* [[Multi Opponent Combat]]
* [[Shield Use]]
* [[Two Weapon Combat]]

===Tertiary Skills: 15 points per rank===
* [[Edged Weapons|One-Handed Edged Weapon Training]]
* [[Blunt Weapons|One-Handed Blunt Weapon Training]]
* [[Brawling|Brawling Weapon Training]]
* [[Polearm Weapons|Polearm Weapon Training]]
* [[Ranged Weapons|Ranged Weapon Training]]
* [[Thrown Weapons|Thrown Weapon Training]]
* [[Two-Handed Weapons|Two-Handed Weapon Training]]

==Redux Floor==

Each level, the threshold to obtain DFRedux decreases. This Redux Floor will be used in subsequent calculations. The floor is

{{equation box|{{math|1=F = 5300 + 20*(Trunc(550/(Level+1)))}}}}


Please Note: This simplified equation was derived from the following equations:
*Base value = ((Primary * 50) + ((Secondary - age based modifier) * 20) + (Tertiary * 15)) / 20
*Must be > 250 to have redux.
*Age based modifier = TRUNC(550 / (level + 1))
*Secondary requirement where (10000 - (10000 - 2640000/(RP/50))/2 must be less than 10000
*This equation was verified from testing conducted by Riltus prior to release of Redux equations


==Order of Operations==
''Redux'', consists of two parts. Part I functions against the weapon damage factor is reduced by the redux factor and the resulting reduced [[raw damage]] determines the maximum [[critical]] rank. Part II includes an additional raw damage reduction plus critical damage reduction.

===Conventional AS resolved Attack===

For the purposes of this comparison, there is an assumption of a working knowledge of the combat system.

The process begins upon resolving an attack with the endroll margin * DF to determine your raw damage.
Here, the equation forks:
{{equation box|{{math|1=Critical Damage = TRUNC((Raw Damage - Critical Padding) * (1 - Redux))}}}}

From there, the critical damage goes through the standard Critical Divisor and Critical Randomization. Once a critical is determined:
{{equation box|{{math|1=Blood Raw Damage = TRUNC((Raw Damage - Damage Padding) * (1 - Redux))}}}}
{{equation box|{{math|1=Final Damage = (Blood Raw Damage + Critical Damage) - TRUNC((1-Redux)*(Blood Raw Damage + Critical Damage))}}}}
