The system isn't meant to be going for pure realism, it is still  abstract. Your roll of the damage dice is as much as a factor in determining how effective you are at getting through the armor's weaknesses as is a roll to hit.I think this system would also open up the possibility of a more versatile number of  weapons with their own innate bonus to hit depending on the tier of the  weapon on scale with tiers of armor. Leather would give say +2 Defense and +1 AC(damage reduction) while say a Dagger would be 1d4 Damage and +1 to hit. While Full Plate would give say +3 Defense and +5 AC, a Broadsword would give +3 to hit and 1d10 damage.</blockquote>
