Defence

                   

         



                                                                                                                                               Defence is one of the primary combat  skills that grants players protection in all forms of  combat.  For this reason, Defence is one of the skills that will raise the  combat level of a player regardless of other combat skill levels.

The higher the Defence level, the fewer successful blows an opponent will land against the player, this applies to all combat styles used against the player. Defence is thus a vital skill for enduring attacks for long periods of time, and can be extremely helpful against opponents with high   Attack,   Ranged,   Magic  or powerful   Summoning familiars.

A player's Defence level also determines which equipment he or she is able to wear, as most pieces of armour or other equipment have a Defence level requirement.
