Re: DR Hardened Beyond Divisor (1)

Allowing anything more than Armor Divisor (5) for TL8- small arms ammo is cinematic, while allowing anything more than Hardened (5) vs. HEAT, etc. (effectively DR with the Hardened enhancement, but Limited limitation) is cinematic for personal armor. If you're mixing magic & high tech, you might also consider variants of the Puissance enchantment which give Armor Divisors and variants of Fortify which give levels of Hardened.

Or are there traits (advantages/abilities) by those names that I may have overlooked? |

Re: DR Hardened Beyond Divisor (1)
The previous poster got the name wrong. It should be 'Penetrating Weapon' (M63). I don't think there's an enchantment for hardening armour in Magic.

A hypothetical Harden Armor enchantment could easily be based on the Fortify enchantment, with Armor Divisor (1.5, 2, 5, 10, 20, or whatever) corresponding to the costs for +1 to +5 DR. Alternately, start with a base enchantment cost of 100 to 250 energy for AD (1.5) and double the cost for each "step" of AD increase. |

Re: DR Hardened Beyond Divisor (1)
I think it's unfortunate "Armor Divisor" wasn't just an enhancement but also used as a limitation by using fractions, because "Armor Multiplier" for that limitation would've made a lot more sense to me.

However, as for adapting Penetrating Weapon to higher TLs it already works on Piercing weapons as well as Cutting and Impaling. you just need a variant that includes Burning and maybe even Corrosive. Disintegrators do Corrosive but already ignore armor.
