While the pick itself might not hit something vital, bypassing the armor to inject something highly energetic into the cavity will render everything within that compartment into slag. | |

It's downside is a relatively small impact area means it has a lower chance of hitting a vital area, but when it does...wow. If you are a rollplayer, this is the basis of the *4 critical on a pick...a relatively tiny pierce, but if that pierce caught anything important the target is in trouble. I've been trying to remember this word while posting...Mattock. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattock | |
