Maybe the damage could be explained by the fact that a dikoted arrow
could be fired at places like the skull or chest and have a rather good
chance of penetrating. I think that it's important to remember that
damage isn't solely a function of cutting/ripping/smashing/going potential
of a weapon, but also on location, the type of wound inflicted, and general
nastiness. I don't really aprove of case by case analysis of effects like
these cuz they can go the other way too. If I dikote my knife and the damage
goes up one, why doesn't it do more for my 7 foot Troll Katana/Chainsaw?
Or my Fineblade? Or my%#$@!**. I like to stick to the rules as much as
possible just for fairness sake. I hate having to ask my GM how he would
rule on a certain action before I do it because I've usually spent a little
time setting it up before it becomes clear what's going on, and I dont want
to waste time in the game(How long does it take to cut though the hull with my
Spur or sharpness?). But then again, everyone plays it their own way and may
want to stick to a more "realistic" sense of the world thean others.
