Yes, there is. If they run away when they reach 1/2 HP, or play dead when they hit 0 HP, this changes their "Up time" significantly.

Hes practically Nekkid!

If he's swinging a bastard sword one handed, he's using a shield or another weapon in that free hand (mostly for parrying).

Fur armor ("practically nekkid") is not "on the template" and would be pretty crazy to do in tandem with no shield. Either he ditches the shield, spends that money on at least Leather armor, and swings the sword two handed for more damage, or he gets a shield.

That guard is already tougher than the assumption up thread, and full plate on the guards is ... weird.
