Penetrating and Impenetrable


BoloOfEarth

Question

Does the amount of an Impenetrable defense matter in regard to the amount of a Penetrating attack? 

 

For instance, GI Jones has 15 PD, 15 ED, and a Duraweave uniform (6 rPD / 6 rED Impenetrable).  He's shot by Kobra Kai with a 10d6 Blast Penetrating blaster rifle.  Kobra rolls poorly -- 9 BODY and 21 STUN.  Without regard to the Penetrating, all of this would bounce.  Does the Impenetrable defense stop all of the 9 STUN of Penetrating damage?  Or would the 6rED Impenetrable only stop 6 of the 9 Penetrating STUN?

I don’t currently have access to all of my books and materials, which have been packed up as part of my home renovation project, so I reserve the right to edit or change this answer at a future time. ;)

 

As noted on 6E1 147, “An attack with Penetrating applies normally against an Impenetrable defense; the usual “minimum damage” effect is ignored.” There’s no comparison of points of attack to points of defense; Impenetrable cancels out Penetrating, full stop. So in your example the combined defenses stop all the STUN damage.
