Diffuse/Shadow Form and cover DR.

Page 408's rules for Overpenetration include contributions to cover DR:
HP (for flesh)
1/2 HP (for a machine, vehicle, or other Unliving target)
1/4 HP (for a Homogenous object)

This is a realistic-sounding tradeoff because Unliving targets take ~1/2 from piercing/impaling while Homogenous takes ~1/4 from piercing/impaling.

These (and other) physical attacks do half damage to someone with Shadow Form, and even less (if non-AE) to someone who's Diffuse.

Do they still have full HP toward their cover DR in spite of that? Body of Air (20 HP) requires 21+ damage to hit someone behind you even though you only suffer a maximum of 2?
