Pectorals

Penalty to deliberately target the upper chest (area 9) with a random chance of hitting the pectoral has a penalty of -1.
If you want to avoid the pectoral then penalty needs to be higher, perhaps -1 per chance. So 2/6 chance gives total of -3 penalty.
I would not permit the vitals to be targeted from the front without the attacker contending with the DR of the plate unless you apply the "chinks in armour" rule and have a -8 penalty (half DR).
