Effect:

Penetrating

This effect deals a small amount of additional base damage proportional to the target’s Resistance that is applied after Resistance is applied. Essentially, it reduces the target’s armor by 10%, and still does a small amount of damage even if the target’s armor would normally reduce the attacker’s damage to zero.

Effect Term: Penetrating

Effect Type: Misc. Effect

Channel:

Math Specifics: Currently deals Extra Damage equal to 10% of target’s resistance; likely to change to a % reduction in target’s armor total once armor mitigation is tweaked

Filter Type	Description and Examples
text	Any text entered in the filter will match text found within the column. `attack` (finds "Base Attack Bonus", "Ranged Attack Bonus", "Bleeding Attack", etc);
`/\d/`	Add any regex to the query to use in the query ("mig" flags can be included `/\w/mig`) `/b[aeiou]s/i` (finds "Base Attack Bonus", "Bestow Curse", etc);
`<` `<=` `>=` `>`	Find alphabetical or numerical values less than or greater than or equal to the filtered query. `>= 10` (find values greater than or equal to 10)
`!` or `!=`	Not operator, or not exactly match. Filters the column with content that does not match the query. Include an equal (`=`), single (`'`) or double quote (`"`) to exactly not match a filter. `!ge` (hide rows with "General" in that column, but shows "Fighter", "Cleric", "Rogue"); `!"Abjurer"` (find content that does not exactly match "Abjurer")
`"` or `=`	To exactly match the search query, add a quote, apostrophe or equal sign to the beginning and/or end of the query `Aid"` or `Aid=` (exactly match "Aid")
`&&` or `AND`	Logical "and". Filter the column for content that matches text from either side of the operator. `channel && harm` (matches a cell that contains both "channel" and "harm");
`-` or `to`	Find a range of values. Make sure there is a space before and after the dash (or the word "to"). `10 - 30` or `10 to 30` (match values between 10 and 30)
`?`	Wildcard for a single, non-space character. `a?i` (finds "Acid Arrow" and "Agile Feet", but not "Alchemist")
`*`	Wildcard for zero or more non-space characters. `a*i` (matches "Acid Arrow", "Agile Feet", and "Alchemist")
`\|` or `OR`	Logical "or" (Vertical bar). Filter the column for content that matches text from either side of the bar. `rogue\|fighter` (matches either "Rogue Maneuver" or "Fighter Maneuver")
`~`	Perform a fuzzy search (matches sequential characters) by adding a tilde to the beginning of the query. `~baa` (matches "Balestra and "Bleeding Attack"), or `~paizo` (matches "Axe Specialization")
