1) Weapon DVs should stay the same I'd think.  Protectiveness of the weapon
	doesn't change, simply the style its being employed in.

2) Chainmail is not worn alone.  There is padding underneath, and still
	even when worn alone, the surface tension of the armor is enough
	to deflect a considerable portion of the impact.  Clothing would
	help you considerably LESS than mail would..with or without
	padding.
