Ok this is a bit of a complex question and I am not really sure if I can explain it well in text; but I will try.
What is better a 10 point damage reduction over the base damage or a 30 damage reduction on the final damage? In the system I am playing (Anima Beyond Fantasy) damage is calculated as percentage of the base damage of the attack, said percentage is calculated by comparing an attack roll with a defence roll and using the difference between them as a percentage, so an attack can deal from 10% of the base damage to 200% and higher.
Therefore my question is what is better reducing the base damage of the attack prior to the actual damage calculation (so if an attack is base damage 100 with this defence it would be actually 90 for example) or getting a 30 point reduction in damage after the damage is calculated (so in the same vein an attack whith 100 point damage base dealing 100% of its damage it would be 70). Now I now that at a first glance the 30 point reduction seems better; but I have the nagging feeling that as base damage increases the 10 point reduction would be better)
I hope I am making sense...
