In the case of the "0.7 armor" here, one would receive 2 points of blunt trauma damage -- the 0.3 stopped, x10, /2, rounded up. I just haven't really sat down and tried to firm up the concept.

Paul, I think you're channeling 2300AD there. The decimal values of armor plus the non-penetration force defaulting to blunt trauma.
