====== Armor-Piercing ======

An **Armor-Piercing** (or "**AP**") hit ignores **half** of whichever [[Protection]] stat it goes against. This is before the [[DRN]] Damage-vs.-Protection roll, which determines how much the taken Damage varies from the typical DMG-minus-PROT equation.

{{:abilities:resist_acid.png?nolink}} **<color #692a5b>Acid Attacks</color>**, {{:abilities:resist_cold.png?nolink}} **<color #99d9ea>Cold Attacks</color>**, and {{:abilities:resist_fire.png?nolink}} **<color #ff7f27>Fire Attacks</color>** are always at //least// Armor-Piercing.

{{:abilities:resist_pierce.png?nolink }} **Piercing Attacks** innately have a lesser sort of Armor-Piercing, ignoring **15%** of whichever Protection stat they go against. There are **Armor-Piercing Piercing Attacks**, though, which ignore **65%** -- Crossbow bolts, for example.
