"Physical attacks dealt to the player are reduced by 50." I'm not sure what is meant by "50" in the description. I did some testing with cows on Hard Mode:

Without Bastion: 287 dmg

With Bastion: 62 dmg

Raising my defense by 50 with a ring only reduced the damage further by a paltry 17 dmg--with or without Bastion equipped. So I suspect Bastion's damage reduction operates seperately from equipment defense. It might be reduced at higher levels but that is a huge damage reduction for my level 20 character so I'm definitely equipping it.
