The Tough hero has an innate talent to ignore a set amount of damage from most weapons, but not from energy or special attack forms (which may or may not exist, depending on the campaign). Before the hero can select a talent from this tree the hero must have previously selected at least one talent from the Energy Resistance or Unbreakable Talent Tree. The Damage Reduction Talent Tree includes three talents specific to resilience: Damage Reduction 1, Damage Reduction 2, and Damage Reduction 3.
