In the case of {{F|compound bow|plural}} and {{F|turbow|plural}}, it can also be modified by the wielder's strength. As of {{Patch|2.0.204.101}}, the display PV for these bows appears to not be accurate. | ||

A bow's base PV is determined by the PV of the arrow loaded into the bow. The {{favilink|compound bow}} also has the effect of adding the wielder's [[strength]] modifier to the penetration value. The {{Favilink|turbow}} adds +4 PV to the shot and then adds the wielder's strength modifier to the penetration value. | A bow's base PV is determined by the PV of the arrow loaded into the bow.

The following chart shows the chances to penetrate against a creature depending on the relative value of attacker's PV versus the target's AV. Keep in mind that this chart corresponds to the internal PV value of a weapon. For example, the internal PV of a '''{{PV}}7''' weapon is '''3''', so a '''{{PV}}7''' weapon versus a creature with '''{{AV}}2''' would correspond to the '''+1 PV''' column of this chart. Similarly, the internal PV of a '''{{PV}}4''' weapon is '''0''', so a '''{{PV}}4''' weapon versus a creature with '''{{AV}}4''' would correspond to the '''-4 PV''' column of this chart. | The following chart shows the chances to penetrate against a creature depending on the relative value of attacker's PV versus the target's AV.

In other words, when using this chart, assume the weapon has 4 less penetration than shown in the game UI. | |||
Once your PV equals or exceeds the target's AV, each +2 extra PV will ensure one additional penetration against the target. | Once your PV equals or exceeds the target's AV, each +2 extra PV will ensure one additional penetration against the target. | ||
