Hiya.

   I noticed this as well. So my solution was rather simple: I doubled 
the DR of all armors. This seemed to work fairly well. The only other 
thing that I've considered is is totaling up the "lowest possible 
damage" from the weapon...that's how much damage it does to armor. So, 
if someone makes a Hit for 1d6+3, it always does 4 points to armor 
(1+3). If someone gets a Deadly hit for 4d10+8 (4+8), it does 12 points 
to armor. But, so far, just doubling the armors DR seems to do it.
