All damage (except for Push and Eldritch) inflicted upon the wearer is reduced by 3 points total per attack/effect, regardless of how many individual damage types are involved.
Melee Attacks
Damage from any melee attack against the wearer is reduced by 3
If a melee attack deals both physical damage and has a secondary effect (e.g., paralysis, sleep, Poison, ennui), as long as all of the physical damage was negated, these boots will negate both the physical damage and secondary effect(s). However, if even 1 HP of damage is not negated, the secondary effect(s) will affect the wearer.
When bardsong is in effect, wearers take –2 Damage from all melee attacks which hit them. This item has no effect on ranged attacks nor attacks which are wholly magical in nature

After taking a Standard Action to consume, damage from the next melee attack to hit the user will be reduced by up to 16 points. Once any amount of damage has been mitigated, the effect fades–even if less than 16 points of damage was negated. The effect from this item affects only one successful melee attack against the consumer, even if the attacker can make more than one attack per round. The effect from this item dissipates when the consumer moves into the next room–even if the consumer was not struck by a melee attack.
The wearer takes -1 damage resulting from a Melee attack.
