Put another way I wouldn't worry about the automatic hit type criteria for more than three dice.

But what about automatic misses? With 4d6, there's a 33% chance of an automatic miss; a 24% chance of dropped weapon and a 16% chance of a broken weapon. Seems to me that you'd be a fool to attack someone who selected the "defend" option, particularly if they're using an expensive or rare weapon.
On 4 dice, the chance of double damage is 0.8%; the chance of an automatic hit is 0.32%.
And the whole point of automatic hits and misses is to introduce a chance of uncertainty regardless of other conditions.
