Q: My character has a 100% better chance of getting a magic item. Why isn't every item I get magical?
A: A character's percentage bonus of finding a magic item is applied to a monster's base chance of dropping a magic item. For example: if a monster's chance to drop a magic item is 1% and a character with a +100% chance of finding a magic item kills the monster, then his chance of finding a magic item from that monster is 2%. If the monster's base chance was 40%, then the character's chance of finding a magic item from the monster would be 80%.

Q: I put on an item that has a defense rating of 10 but my character's overall defense rating goes up by more than 10. Why?

Q: I have an item that says: "damage reduced by 1" and another item that says "magic damage reduced by 1." What is considered magic damage and what is considered non-magic damage?
A: Non-magic damage comes from weapons and hand-to-hand attacks. A character or monster swinging a sword, claw, fist, etc. as well as shooting an arrow, does non-magic damage. Magic damage is fire, cold, lightning and poison. Some attacks do both kinds of damage - Magic and Non-Magic. For example: an axe of thunder, does non-magic, physical damage and magic, lightning damage.
