Alternative damage system

[hcobb]

Edged weapons subtract twice the value of non-magical armor and shields from the damage they do. ("Good for cutting flesh, not metal.")

Non-edged weapons do half damage after penetrating all protections, round down. ("Bashing or poking small holes, not slicing off body parts.")

Finely made swords and some other weapons are in both categories. Declare poke or slash before rolling to hit.
