Penetration stat mysteries

[Hanzo]

I have a character with 5 strength, and without gear, all of its penetration stats in the character sheet are 0. Shouldn't they (or at least one of them) be 5? According to the codex, each point of Strength translates into a point of penetration.

Does Strength increase magic penetration? Or only armor penetration?

There is a hidden "penetration" stat that is added to your armor pen, spell pen, and temptation scores when resolving damage. The stat isn't currently incorporated into those stats themselves though. This is because some powers could use multiple types (or no types) of penetration and adding it to each score would double-up or not include the base penetration stat based on the situation. I can add the core "penetration" stat to the character sheet I guess, though that may add confusion.

Actually, I think I can change how the combat math code is done to get the best of both worlds. I'll have the specific pen types include the base in them for next patch.
