Not to be confused with Damage reduction.

Toughness is a property of monsters that multiplicatively affects the damage they take. Increased toughness causes monsters to take less damage while reduced toughness causes them to take more damage.

Calculation

The damage taken by the monster based on their toughness is calculated as follows, rounded to the nearest whole number:

Example Toughness and Damage Taken
Toughness modifier Relative Toughness % damage taken
50% reduced Toughness 50% 100% more
Base Toughness 100%
100% increased Toughness 200% 50% less
200% increased Toughness 300% 67% less
6566% increased Toughness 6666% 98% less
6567% increased Toughness 6667% 99% less
19899% increased Toughness 19999% 99% less
19900% increased Toughness 20000% 100% less

(6567-19899)% increased Toughness is the maximum possible value for Toughness that permits the monster to take damage. At 19900% increased Toughness or above, the monster has 100% less damage taken, effectively granting damage immunity.
