Two damage parts (physical and magic) are each mitigated by the matching resistance.
Numbers are before target resistance (damage x 100 / (100 + R); most monsters have 0, armored ones up to 60 for a 37.5% cut) and before hit chance, dodge and guard. Combat difficulty does not change your own damage.
How the math works
damage coefficient = (FloatValues[1] x tiles + FloatValues[0]) x 0.01 of PhysicalAttackPower
Things the tooltip does not tell you
- Whether GetBetweenTiles counts the start or end tile was not traced, so the exact tile count at a given distance is not settled.
