Next you're not going to punch through them or knock them into orbit. You're going to wallup them but your fist won't go through a steel insert jacket and you'll probably hurt yourself a bit if you don't land that punch right or if you hit something harder than a jaw. I think you can probably scale damage with that charging horse. Maybe +3 to damage, -3 to hit? Or reasonably close to those.
In contrast, if someone waiting by the side of the road does a Stop-Thrust against you, they'll get a full +10 to damage, and it won't cause them any harm unless you use MA's optional rule of treating the flexibleDR2 of the skull as hardDR3 so "hurting yourself" applies.

Instead of, or in addition to, the +1 damage per 2 yards for Stop Thrust?
