 ===== Influenced by =====
 Your skill points.

+===== Attempted Explanation =====
+**Chance:** (Points / 2) % chance to activate (e.g., 50% chance at 100 points).
+**Effect:** Increases your attack damage by reducing the effect of the target's armor and adding a power bonus.
+The formula considers your attack before applying the opponent's AC. It modifies this armor based on your skill level:
+  * The higher your **Armor Penetration** skill, the greater the AC reduction.
+  * If you have **125 points or less**, the target's armor is reduced by a fraction of your skill.
+  * If you have **more than 125 points**, the reduction becomes even more effective.
+Once the armor is adjusted, the skill applies a **damage bonus** based on your base attack (**TrueStrike**). This bonus increases with higher skill levels.

+=== Example Calculation: ===
+**Case 1: The target has 150 AC**
+  * A normal attack dealing **300** damage would result in **150 damage** after AC reduction.
+  * With **100 points** in Armor Penetration, the attack increases to **about 481**.
+  * After applying the adjusted AC, the final damage is **331**.
+  * **Result: More than double the damage of a standard attack.**
+**Case 2: The target has 0 AC**
+  * A normal attack deals **300 damage** (no AC reduction).
+  * With **100 points** in Armor Penetration, the attack increases to **349**.
+  * Since the AC is zero, no reduction occurs.
+  * **Result: A damage boost even against an armorless target.**
