3d+3 can still overcome DR 18 but it'd happen less often.
ST 20 is also pretty impressive, right? That's polar bear tier ST, better than a grizzly.

Yes, that rule was specifically created for the purpose of solving the swing cut supremacy problem. However, there are people who has other preferences and thus uses other optional rules to solve it. In my case I use KYOS, which ends up reducing maximum basic swing damage to 2d+2. Kromm once commented that he prefers to give spears AD(2). Others just shrug and says it's a problem that should be solved from grounds up on GURPS 5th Edition. I created this thread out of curiosity, to know which solutions others adopted.
