The Mechaenetia Events that cause HP to be lost would contain also the Body Parts that got hit and the Damage Type. So a Flat HP Mod would just not care about those Parts and simply change your HP Bar depending on amount of Damage (or on amount you get hit), while all others do. Also the Flat HP Mod could be a buffer BEFORE damage is taken to the individual Body Parts, kindof like a Shield.
