Effects list

Ignore armour

Described in: Core book

Description

A weapon with this effect simply ignores a target’s armour points. Any damage that gets through shields or force fields directly hits the target’s health.

Example: Mike’s character hits a meta-armour wearing Nodachi samurai with a stiletto. He rolls his character’s damage and adds their bonuses for a total of 22 points of damage. The samurai has a 10-point FF, reducing the damage received to 12. Usually, this damage would be dealt to the target’s armour. Thanks to the stiletto’s ignore armour effect, it is directly inflicted to the samurai’s health.

Some creatures have no HP score. Against them, destructive always applies, ignoring ignore armour and armour-piercing effects. If a creature has HP and AP values, destructive still applies if the target’s AP are higher than the armour-piercing effect of the attack. If armour-piercing allows the attack to completely ignore the target’s AP, damage is dealt straight to the target’s HP and the destructive effect is ignored.
