For example, let’s assume someone with a moderate level Brute rating is attacked by a wolf, clawed on the chest.

This person has an HP of 500.

Let’s treat a wolf clawing you like a low-medium-strength attack.

I’ll put it at a damage magnitude of 50 HP.

The general chest is a non-critical area, so it has a modifier of 1x, meaning the base damage is not altered by the location of the hit. Let’s say the cape has a 50% resistance to slashing damage, meaning he takes slightly less damage from this type of attack.

Taking these factors into account, the total damage would be calculated as follows:

Base damage = 50 HP

Location modifier = 1x

Damage resistance = 0.5%

Total damage = Base damage * Location modifier * (1 - Damage resistance)

Total damage = 50 HP * 1 * (1 - 0.5) = 25 HP damage magnitute

So a slash to the chest from a wolf's claws would cause about 25 HP of damage to a cape with a total of 500 HP and 50% resistance to slashing damage.
