The Dagger of Piercing is a +2 weapon (+10 SC and +2 Dmg). This dagger has the ability to pass through any physical protection (shields, helmets, amour etc), giving the target a protection of 0. Magical protection of any kind still works.
Example 1: Target is wearing +2 Chain Mail and a normal helmet, affording them a PROT of 9. Against this dagger, their PROT is only 2. Note that LUCK-based PROT does not apply because they are wearing armor.
Example 2: Target is wearing no armor and has a LUCK of 25, giving them LUCK-based PROT of 4. They are also wearing a +2 Ring of Protection giving them a normal PROT of 6. Against this dagger, their PROT remains at 6.
Example 3: Target is wearing +1 Leather Armor and a +2 Helm of Protection for a normal PROT of 6. Against this dagger, their PROT is only 3 for the +1 armor and the +2 helm.
Example 4: Target is wearing non-magical Plate Armor for a normal PROT of 9. Against this dagger, their PROT is 0. |
