Wright, just wanted a clarification.  If you use a normally one-handed 
weapon two handed, your CDV and GDV do not go up by one, correct?  What 
is the case if one uses a two-handed weapon one handed?

Also, regarding the increase of MDV of chain, did you consider both 
ballistic (bullets, arrows, etc.) AND imapct (rocks, concusion-type 
stuff)?  I can see that chain would be better than heavy clothing against 
the ballistic weapons but, if being hit by a big ol' blunt object, I'd 
perfer the "coshiness" of the clothing.
