You are in a sense correct because mitigation implies "alleviate" or a lessening of something. However, I have done it this way because that is how it is represented in the Damage equations that you see on the Damage page - it has to be inverted like this to be placed in the damage calculation. Either way you slice it, this is the part of the equation of how much damage is taken away or goes through armor - it is two sides of the same "mititgation" coin. The reason I would rather have it as the "goes through" side of the coin is because that is how it is represented in the damage calcs and it will be less confusing to everyone if we stay consistent. As it happens, it also is the best way to write out the "Effective Health" equation, too. So, in the end it is just more expedient. Otherwise the first thing you have to have someone do is invert the value anyway - it adds a step.

I don't have time to invert the values on the table right now. If someone else does, go ahead. Otherwise I might do it tonight while watching TV.
