## Note on Defense:

You earn Defense XP from any damage mitigated by armour, Defense level, or defensive modifiers. Blocking with a weapon or shield reduces incoming damage at the cost of stamina. A well-timed block triggers a Parry, negating the stamina cost. The block icon on your equipment shows your block damage reduction %, with the max block amount below it.
