 When a critical hit occurs, the unit's current protection (after AP stuff above) is reduced by 25% (rounded down, all divisions are btw). Afterward, the protection DRN is added to that protection to get the protection used against damage. When a critical hit occurs, the unit's current protection (after AP stuff above) is reduced by 25% (rounded down, all divisions are btw).

 +FIXME The manual says critical hits reduce prot by 25%, but the code below appears to show a 50% reduction to base prot. Since the manual is wrong on this topic in several ways, can we confirm the code is more accurate?
  
 Note that it is the same DRN roll that is used for both reducing damage and deciding whether a critical hit happened, which leads to critical hits being even more devastating. Note that it is the same DRN roll that is used for both reducing damage and deciding whether a critical hit happened, which leads to critical hits being even more devastating.
