Default Re: Using overpenetration rules on shields?

I do not allow active blocking against bullets unless one has one of the two prereqs needed for precognitive parry.

Further, I use the DB to mean that the shield was hit with you behind it, that is if you succeed by DB or less the shield is hit and you take any remaining damage after the shield is penetrated. I use this for all types of attacks.

Note that the basic set shield DR+Hitpoint values are way too high compared to something like armor DR and thus I use much lower values.
