Armor DX penalty and "point and shoot" weapons

That's not particularly helpful.

Occam, you have a point that armor wouldn't have the same effect on crossbows or guns as other weapons (or at least I assume). But I try to keep the game reasonably simple and personally don't fuss about things like that.

I only fuss about really important things, like how many blood hawks can fit into a hex.

If you do change the effects of armor on crossbows and guns, you may find a glut of crossbows and guns in your games. It will kinda change the balance.
