Penetration Damage

Background

Penetration Damage is damage done by a pointed weapon, such as a knife or gun shot. This type of damage is typically seen as durability negation due to pointed weapons stretching the impact area and crushing it, weakening the tensile strength enough to easily create an entrance wound area. Typically in fiction there are characters that are far higher tier then the regular real world humans that can still be harmed and killed by bullets and sword stabs. An example of this is many old folklore stories of entire armies fighting a massive beast and being able to pierce it with their swords and spears, despite the army being far lower tier then the beast usually. The same can be said for bullets as well due to its piercing nature. While realistically someone with extremely high Durability should be able to bounce off sword stabs and bullets, most of the time the idea is that while characters have extremely high durability, their body is still human, meaning it can be penetrated by much lower tier objects. Piercing damage can also vary depending on whether it's based on physically piercing a target, or through supernatural means. Naturally this means we only accept people that won't be affected by piercing damage to be those with Pierce Resistance.

Types

• Type 1: Physical Penetration: The user pierces a target with a sharp weapon such as a sword or firearm, weakening the inflicted area enough to easily pass through the target.
  • Examples: The Master Sword, the Power of Love, the Needle Lazer, Vampire Killer, and the Shining Laser

• Type 2: Supernatural Penetration: Supernatural Penetration is often a pointed weapon or attack that does not stop regardless of how many targets they pierce. Often times, this type is called Intangible Attacks due to how easily they pass through physical matter.
  • Examples: The Arrow of Light (Kid Icarus), The Last Prism, and the Bougainvillea Mode Hyper Megadeath Particle Cannon

Limatations

• Penetrating damage struggles against armor due to the tensile strength being far greater than flesh (Look to Bulletproof for more explanation)
• The power behind the piercing point might not be powerful enough to be properly used in an applicable scenario.
