(→‎Penetration Rolls: effects of very high strength)
Line 111: Line 111:


If all three rolls in the first '''''triplet''''' are equal to or lower than the target's AV, the attack fails to penetrate at all.
If all three rolls in the first '''''triplet''''' are equal to or lower than the target's AV, the attack fails to penetrate at all.
If the attacker's Strength bonus is capped by their weapon, Step 1b becomes slightly different: instead of PV, it's the Strength bonus that is temporarily reduced by 2, and PV is only reduced if the bonus is now below the weapon's cap.  This means that very high Strength can have a limited positive effect on penetration rolls even if the weapon doesn't support it.
