PV table is confusing

On 2025 SEP 16, Cliffordius said:

Keep in mind that this chart corresponds to the internal PV value of a weapon. For example, the internal PV of a →7 weapon is 3, so a →7 weapon versus a creature with ♦2 would correspond to the +1 PV column of this chart. Similarly, the internal PV of a →4 weapon is 0, so a →4 weapon versus a creature with ♦4 would correspond to the -4 PV column of this chart.

This seems needlessly confusing. Why not make the heading for each column PV (as shown on the UI) - AV (as shown on the UI) like this:

PV - AV -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
At Least 1 Penetration 48.8% 65.7% 78.4% 87.5% 93.6% 97.3% 99.2% 99.9% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100%
and so on
I agree, most references to PV on the page should refer to what you can see in-game. I have a rewrite of the page on-deck, but if you want to move things around go right ahead. (FYI you can use four tildes in a row to put your name/timestamp on a page) Librarianmage (talk) 00:20, 17 September 2025 (UTC)
