So earlier this year Paul confirmed that even though Hardened armor needed two points of normal damage to mark off one "bubble", the half points counted as 1 damage for the purposes of PSRs.
For example, a mech with Hardened Armor is hit by two PPCs: each PPC hits for 10 damage, reduced by the hardened armor to one half bubble per point of damage. However, for the purposes of the PSR roll, the 20 damage threshold has been reached, and the mech with hardened armor must roll to see if it falls down.
So when Re-Engineered Lasers are in play, how does this work?
For example, a mech with Hardened Armor is hit by one PPC and one Re-LL. Does the Re-LL cause 9 damage in terms of the paper doll but 18 in regards to the PSR check? Is there a PSR roll here?
