Toughened Skin

By toughening and thickening your skin, you can now prevent (a little bit of) damage! Toughened Skin is a passive skill that increases your armor by 2, meaning that every melee damage instance you receive will have its damage reduced by 2, down to a minimum of 1 damage point. However, as all armor effects, it has no effect on ranged damage instances. This skill becomes less useful in higher levels as it only reduces fixed amount of damage.
