  Can't remember if we've ever used this. What I'd be likely to do is in
place of reducing AV, simply have the AV only count as half (rounded down)
for that blow. That is, if the damage is 19 and the AV was 3, the AV would
only count as AV1. Thusly the damage would be 18 points suffered. Something
just seems wrong with reducing AV by a single hit, yet a dozen hits that all
do AVx4 or so have no effect.

It *seems* simplistic, but it actually take a lot of things into account
(that is, the CDF is made up of a lot of factors). Multiplying that by 2 is
just fine by me. :) P&P doesn't need any more math for the poor DM! ;-)

Probably a Club at -1 to -3 WSB depending on how crappy a torch it is. It
would likewise have a low FV. Definitly use the Club skill.
