Armour Penetration Rules |
By: Splynn (thoth@netside.com)
These charts only apply when the character is taking damage from weapons, magic, or psionics that inflict enough M.D.C. to penetrate their armour and kill them. In all cases, the damage will be enough to totally destroy the area indicated on the chart, and the character must make a save vs. coma/death (without benefit of bonuses) to avoid falling into a coma.
Any armour-penetrating damage resulting from ballistic or melee weapons will cause massive internal bleeding. (Due to the self-cauterizing nature of energy weapons, they do not cause internal bleeding.)
