RE: defense

Excuse me?  _Far_ from impossible?

Time for a reality check...

Why don't you give me an example of _any_ individual
who can, even on the off chance, whack an arrow out
of the air as it bears down on them (and while they are
busily engaged in killing and defending against the
person(s) in front of them).  Any concrete example will
do (and movie theatrics to not count).

I agree you should get some benefit against missile weapons.  If for no
other reason than the off chance that you wack the arrow out of the way.
Thats good enough for a 1 in my opinion.

What about this?
	Give the normal bonus that your weapon gives to GDV and CDV to MDV,
	and then for the defense option, make it so that you get +1/die
	against missiles instead of 2.  This is to reflect the fact
	that missile weapons ARE harder to block, but far from impossible.
