If APDS halves down Ballistic Armor does Edge Weapons halve down Impact?

Example of a catchers vest. It helps on getting hit from a baseball, but would suck with getting stabbed. Even with kelver, a pointed weapon can punch a whole in it.

Edged weapons do not halve impact armor. There is no distinction in the game, that I know of, between a weapon that damages with its edge vs. a weapon that damages with its point.

Layers of Kevlar affects the ballistic rating of armor a lot more than the impact rating, so that's already taken into account in the game. An example is Secure Clothing (3/0).

As you know by now, questions like this belong in the "Shadowrun" forum (instead of Community Projects). By the time you read this, however, the thread might already be moved to the right Forum.

Only the monowhip (or minor variants of the concept) are "sharp" enough to halve impact armor. However, some other things are resisted by half impact as a base because it was easier than adding numbers for each other type of attack (though such specific armor effects were allowed as customizations and apply to some fashionable coats).

Sorry, I hadn't seen that this discussion had already moved to the Shadowrun forum.

The main discussion is here.

No reason to continue discussion on this thread.

It had been. I posted this question originaly in a wrong board. They moved it unknowing that I reposted in this board. This is even stated that it was done and that there is not need to post to this one and created a link to the other thread.
