Often abbreviated as "TD" it is a value used to determine the outcome of warding magic. Many different types of magic can invoke this type of defense, therefore each circle of magic will have its own TD value, depending upon the particular training of the target.
A character's base TD to all spells is 3 points per level, plus the relevant statistic bonus:
- Wisdom for spiritual spells
- Aura for elemental spells
- Discipline for mental spells
Sorcerer spells take the average of Wisdom and Aura.
Spells that add to a particular type of TD always add 50% to the other type and 75% to hybrid types. Example, if a spell adds +15 Spirit TD, then it'll add +7 Elemental TD and +11 Sorcerer TD. 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 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.
Rare armors or shields may have a TD bonus in their primary property slot.
