[LT] No More Nerf Armor

[Edges]

I know this is a perennial topic. (It's a tangent on another thread right now). I'm just looking for some simple suggestions.

I keep hearing about how effective RL armor is on this forum. I use the LT rules and the "strong guy" on the scene (whether PC or NPC) usually has a 13-14 ST. But people get injured through armor on pretty much every hit.

I'd like to see armor be more realistically effective. What is the simplest fix? (I am not at present concerned with firearms).
