<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A '''defensive bonus''' directly affects [[defensive strength]] (DS). In its most common form--on [[armor]] and [[shield]]s--it is equivalent to the item's [[enchantment]].<br />
<br />
In rare cases, other wearable items, such as clothes, shoes, and jewelry, were given defensive bonuses; these items are known as '''DB items'''.<br />
<br />
Temporary defensive bonuses are available in the form of a wide variety of [[:category: Defensive Spells|defensive spells]]. There are many such spells, and the most common ones include [[Spirit Defense (103)]], [[Mass Blur (911)]], [[Mass Elemental Defense (419)]], and [[Mass Colors (611)]].<br />
<br />
A defensive bonus can also be granted by a rare [[enhancement]] found on some weapons (known as '''defender weapons'''). The defender bonus on a weapon takes up the same Category B [[item properties|property slot]] as standard flares or ability to [[bless]].<br />
<br />
For both defender weapons and DB items, creation of and adding to the bonus is a very rare [[merchant]] service.<br />
<br />
==Behind The Scenes==<br />
The term "DB item" originated in the [[Rolemaster]] system used in the [[ICE age]] and the terms OB vs. DB rather than AS vs. DS.<br />
