Natural Protection?

Well, I made myself a character screen (stats) today and saw that you can add a field called "natural protection". Weapons can be set to "natural", but that is the normal damage type that most weapons have. Does this mean that "natural protection" is the same thing as damage absorbation? If it is, then that is great. If not, what is it?

Thanks

Yep. It is. Like a shield would have natural protection.

Excellent! Going to make myself a stoneskin spell right away, then. Thanks.
