Aye, quick question.
Does warriors ascalon armor which reads lowers damage from attacks, stack? Or does the absorbtion only work when hit at that particular armored location?

1. No, damage reduction doesn't stack from different pieces of armor, neither Ascalon or Knight's. From runes and shields, yes.
2. Absorption does apply globally from one piece. The -2 you get from Ascalon/Knight's applies to damage anywhere (yes, the manual says it doesn't, yes, the manual's wrong).

there is no way to hit someone in a parctiular spot (BOOM! HEADSHOT!) so yes, it is "global" (body..al?)
