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.

If all three '''''singlet''''' rolls were greater than the target's AV, reduce the '''maximum possible PV''' by 2, return to {{Qud text|&gStep 1|unbolded}}, and perform another '''''triplet''''' of rolls to determine if the attack penetrates an additional time.

In summary, the attack penetrates and deals damage equal to its damage dice once for each '''''triplet''''' of rolls where at least one '''''singlet''''' was higher than the target's AV. <ref><code>XRL.Rules.Stat.RollDamagePenetrations()</code></ref> | In summary, the attack penetrates and deals damage equal to its damage dice once for each '''''triplet''''' of rolls where at least one '''''singlet''''' was higher than the target's AV. <ref><code>XRL.Rules.Stat.RollDamagePenetrations()</code></ref> | ||
