Damage Resistance

Damage Resistance is a derived statistic in Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel.

Any Damage taken is reduced by this precentage. damage resistance can be increased by wearing armor, taking certain Perks, or having a high Endurance.

Note, however, the difference from Armor Class, which helps dodge the attack, and Damage Threshold, which reduces damage before the damage resistance.
