Oh, right. I had forgotten about that. The manual had me fooled with it's claims of basic penetration being 10.
I meant a -4 penalty to a basic MR check. Which would mean a penetration strength of 16. I guess the pen in the debug log stand for penetration strength and not penalty.
I ran some tests and it turns out:
Vine & Eye shields: Pen 12
Medusa: Pen 13
Totem: Pen 16 (so a -4 penalty, just like the manual claims)
The eye shield kind of surprised me. It seems to work more often then that. Too bad I don't have the turn file when Gregstrom and I duked it out with eye shields, mage bane and the aegis. It would have been interesting to see the die rolls.
