Body Development Basic Info: Body Development defines your maximum Health, or Hitpoints. It is exclusively dependent on Stamina. The Skill is also influenced by your Character level and Profession. Your Breed determines how many points of health you get per point of Body Development. Rarely a requirement of items, Body Dev. is however a requirement of the Withered Flesh and Barrow Strength Shoulderpads; useful armor that can be obtained early on, from the Temple of Three Winds. Other items requiring Body Dev. can be found there and in its higher level counterpart, the Inner Sanctum. Maximum Health is of course, a derived statistic. Effects affecting Body Development always stack with Max Health effects, and there are implant clusters for both.

Deflect is a requirement for equipping certain weapons and combat based items. Deflect is a defensive stat that and not a melee special. Deflect increases the chance that incoming attacks (in both PvE and PvP) will be downgraded to Glancing Hits. Depending on the incoming attack type, a Glancing Hit deals 0%, 50% or normal (100%) damage. Glance chance is 0%->10%, between 0->3000 Deflect skill. Specific mechanics for different incoming attack types are: Non-special weapon/Martial Arts (unarmed) attack: Glance is 50% damage. Fast Attack: Glancing hit will deal normal damage. Fling Shot: Glancing hit will deal normal damage. Sneak Attack: Glance is 50% damage. Aimed Shot: Glance counts as a miss with 0 damage. Backstab: Glance is 50% damage (on the damage calculated before applying the backstab multiplier). Brawl: Glance is 50% damage. Burst: Per bullet: Glance is 50% damage. Dimach: Glance is 50% damage. Full Auto: If a shot is glanced, all subsequent bullets will do 50% damage.
