I was only thinking DR 4 felt about right for use in the examples, and Scale doesn't have the split DR of Mail's "4/2" (which I may use for the later advanced/UT series).
I did add a line about gear, to "Unlike poor Rex, Kerna is packing some serious armor" I added "(paid for by the kingdom — a starting character without the Wealth advantage wouldn’t be able to afford all the gear she has)," but that was in the first intermediate post, Kerna's character creation, and not the post we were discussing.
Now I'm thinking a few thoughts on gear would probably be a useful post all to itself.
