Damage sections

Because piercing dmg of bolt passes armor, + 210% of dmg from head bonus and here you are.

I'm not so sure there's a piercing bonus on the head either, atleast not triple. I know for a fact that people in non-top tier armor have survived my overhead gen1 bec to the head with 11 PS. According to the dmg calc 33 str/11 PS/38 piercing to 40 armor does 53 average, if it was 3x then the total damage would be 159, which would be no way survivable. There does seem to be a damage bonus, because head hits with piercing are definitely more deadly, but 3x is too much I think.

Maybe WaltF4 could make a lab test to demonstrate these figures.

LOOKING FOR: guinea pigs ready to receive repeated blows to the chest, feet and head. We look for resistant subjects since he/she should stay alive to report his/her impression to the tester.

I have 59 hp, and can afford any armor in the game if needed. I can do this if needed.

Eeeer, that was a joke actually.

Meh, was hard to tell. I already vol' to be a shooting dummy/spin-stab starget for a good 2 hours last week for tests from a player wanting to try out stuff.

heh

Remember, dmg is a random number from 100% to 50% of weapons dmg so such test will never be accurate.

One thing i've always wondered is will it make a difference in damage if you stab with a polearm and aim it for their face, or if you stab them in the stomach?

Yes, limbs (not feet or hands) are .8 damage multiplier, head is 3 damage multiplier, and everything else is standard.

No and no, read my post above.

Damage depends on skeleton bone hit, not on generic "regions".

head bone: melee 120%, ranged 210%
thigh/calf bones: 90%
every other bone: 100%

I stand corrected.

I can agree with this, I shoot sheilders in the foot all the time and if I can hit them in the foot twice even with heavy greavers they die, compared to me shooting them in the chest/leg it takes 3 - 5 arrows to kill them.

Keep in mind too that people often have higher body armor than leg armor, which plays a role, same thing goes for the head.
