[sni pbody pararagraph]

We add in the +1 to the entire rating (both ballistic and impact). For
called shots, we divide the total armour (yes armoUr, im from Canada) by
2 (round up) and use that. The reason i incorporatte the body armour
rating is because a regualar shot can still hit the head. Conversely, a
called shot to the head can still hit the body. I use this to roleplay
the damage after all the dice rolls (a called shot to the head causing L
damage could hit the body, a called shot with D damage might hit the
throat, etc.)
