==Penetration Formula==

{{missing info|This formula is close the actual formula, but isn't quite correct. Until this page gets updated, see the [[Melee combat]] article for a more accurate description of how PV rolls work.}}

To check how many times an attack penetrates, the game rolls the following value three times:

<math alt="Penetration Roll equals 1 d 10 plus PV">[\text{Penetration Roll}] = 1\mathrm{d}10 + PV</math>

Each roll is then compared to the target's DV. If at least one roll is higher than the DV, the attack penetrates a single time. Then, if all three rolls are higher than the DV, the whole process is repeated; this allows the attack to penetrate more than once. However, each time this happens, the PV value is reduced by 2. ~~(shouldn´t it be the targets AV Value instead of the DV Vlaue - compare to the formula below)~~

Each roll is then compared to the target's AV. If at least one roll is higher than the AV, the attack penetrates a single time. Then, if all three rolls are higher than the AV, the whole process is repeated; this allows the attack to penetrate more than once. However, each time this happens, the PV value is reduced by 2.

The chance of <math alt="n">n</math> penetrations goes by the formula:
