Notes

• This passive's description does not mention that the damage reduction only takes effect while wearing heavy armour. This requirement is mentioned in the description of the Heavy Armour Master feat.
• This passive's damage reduction only works if the character is wearing heavy body armour. For example, it does not apply if the character is only wearing  Grymskull Helm which counts as Heavy Armour in terms of required proficiency.

Bugs

• This passive's damage reduction works for all incoming physical damage (⁠Slashing, ⁠Bludgeoning, or ⁠Piercing), magical or not. Of note: it does not reduce physical self-damage dealt as a result of  Searing Blood or  The Scourge Mistress' Bane.
• This passive's ability score increase follows the priority order for capped bonuses. If uncapped bonuses have already raised the score to 20 or higher, then this passive's ability score increase is not applied.
• This passive's ability score increase applies in Wild Shape and Slayer forms.
