<mrq>Ah, The Big Complaint #2, you mean! The "attack succeeds but AP is subtracted" happens only if both roll the same number (and none has a skil above 100%). Many people complained that this makes APs useless, but I think they are wrong because this is effectively what happens in CoC and "default", AP-less BRP, so it is a perfectly viable rule.

I houserule that damage reduction by APs happens only if you have a shield, effectively differentiating between Parry and Block.</mrq>

Yeah, I remember. I had not suspected there were so many synonyms for the word "Beetle". And I have a degree in Entomology!
