Which optional rules do you use for muscle-powered weapons and armors?

Been looking at 3e Swashbuclers lately and I find that even with the Fencing Parry calculated from2/3rds skill rather than 1/2 I still wanted the PD1 from a Basket Hilt and the additional PD 1 from a leather doublet to go along with the +1 or +2 from Body Language Skill. Oh, and since we're talking about Thrustign attacks I could use the Dodge bonus from Boxing (though I might have to pay a UB for knowing Boxing).

As I tried to indicate 3e tended to accumulate kludges to try and deal with fighting without armor and shield.
