Deflect

Deflect is an enchantment spell which used to add PD or Passive Defense in 3e.
This was changed to a Defense Bonus in 4e.
DFRPG Adventurers: "Cost is for a suit of armor. Piecewise armor can have Deflect or Fortify that adds Defense Bonus or Damage Resistance only vs. attacks on that location" (p. 118).
This clarifies that wearing a helmet with Deflect would only give a bonus to block/dodge/parry if the helmet was targeted, NOT if any other location was, which some might interpret as being the case based on the basic/magic books.
