Possible armor bug?

[Archaven]

How do you take screenshot?

 

Aloth with Irisdescent scale in character sheet shows:

 

Base:  7

Superb: +3

 

However during fights with xaurip plaguestriker, the armor penetration shows 14 vs 7 (Aloth's armor). What gives?

 

When you press shift on the attack rolls it shows:

 

+5 Irisdescent scale

+3 Superb

- 1 Flank

= 7

 

This is penetration of the xaurip which is fine. I understand how it's calculated:

 

8 Base

+2 Strike the belll

+2 Exceptional

+2 Path of the Damned

= 14

 

But you can clearly see there's something wrong with the base armor of Irisdescent scale?

Just wondering if this a bug or there's something i'm not aware of?

 

Thanks for any insights.

I suspect plaguestriker has spear, i.e. does pierce damage. Scale armor has lower base value against piercing attacks. See: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/106311-flanking-base-armor/
