Greetings folks. I've been playing DD on and off for a couple of years now although I've never gotten past the mid teens with any of my characters. That's more down to a lack of time than a lack of interest. I plan on making atleast one run through this time around. Anyway, I have a question that's probably been asked before.

I've been wondering about armour rating. Searched, found this post and a couple of other posts but I didn't quite get an answer.

Could someone let me know if my understanding (pl. see below) is correct?
Let's say I have two pairs of boots, one with 50 armour and the other with 150. Let's say all other bonuses are the same. Can I assume that for 5% of all the hits my char takes (or a bit less maybe as the other armor pieces will chip in some of those times), the second pair will absorb 100 more points than the first?

I have the latest Steam version if that makes any difference.
