+====== Defence Skill ======
+**Defence Skill** is a core game mechanic that determines a character's ability to avoid incoming attacks in combat.
+==== Overview ====
+Defence Skill represents a character's ability to dodge or parry attacks. It's used in the combat resolution system to determine if an attack hits or misses.
+==== Calculation ====
+The base defence skill is calculated based on:
+  * **Hero**: Affected by [[rpd:armor|armor]] and [[rpd:accessories|rings]] like [[rpd:ring_of_evasion_item|Ring of Evasion]]
+  * **Mobs**: Each mob has a base defence skill value defined in its class
+==== Combat Mechanics ====
+When an attack is made, the game compares the attacker's [[rpd:attack_skill|attack skill]] with the defender's defence skill. Higher defence skill makes the character harder to hit.
+==== Affected Items ====
+  * [[rpd:ring_of_evasion_item|Ring of Evasion]] - Increases defence skill by its level amount
+  * [[rpd:armor|Armor]] - Provides defence bonus based on its tier and level
+  * [[rpd:shields|Shields]] - Additional defensive items
