Here's an example we can use. In your body slot you have a Grass Suit, which will absorb 60% of all damage dealt by mobs. In your helmet slot you have a Football Helmet, which will absorb 80% of all damage dealt. When put together you receive 92% of total damage absorption, NOT 140%, which would actually add health points to your total. Now, as cool an exploit as that would be, it really doesn't make for an excellent game. dmg(taken) = dmg(dealt)*(1-[last equipped absorption])*(1-[ first equipped absorption])
