Well itsa fairly easy matter to figure out which weapons were best agsint certain armours. Apply a little common sense with the knowledge of popular arms that were used concurrently with certain armours and voila! And only HEAVY peircing weapons would get universal penetration ( though i also award it to lances when used from a charge)
The 2E DMG hada table for weapon types vs armours. but a good rule of thumb is that massive weapons penetrate armour ( any hammer, the godentag, etc) smaller weapons penetrate only mdeium armous and the lightest of weapons penetrate only light armours.i suppose i could makea list. But why bother? it does bog down game play
oh and to add to my list of options rules from above
Rule #2 do not give run of the mill monsters Vitality. it slows game play for small encounters and frustrates players and record keeping. just use Wounds/ HP. ( thankyou Forbidden Kingdoms)
