Can someone explain how these apply when I use a style? so if the To Hit says Med bonus, does my style dmg get the bonus so will do abit more damage if it lands? And for Defense if it says Med Penalty, does that mean when I use the style my defense is lowered so might get hit for more from opponent or does it mean the defense of my opponent will be penalized so my style will do more damage or not get resisted?

chance to land / chance to defend against an attack

i think it's only pve tho

Penalty/Bonus "to Hit" affects your chances to hit, not damage.

Penalty/bonus for Defense affects YOUR defense until you swing again.

When you swing your weapon, you have a % chance to hit.
When you use a style that has a bonus to hit, then your chance to not miss is increased.
When you use a style that has a penalty to hit, then your chance to hit is decreased.
When you use a style that has a bonus to defense, then your chance to be hit is decreased.

Edit: bonus/penalty to hit/defense only applies to hit/miss calculations.
