OTOH... I can't recall offhand, but does EP loss incur penalties to rolls? If so, the cumulative penalty would already be factored in.

Nope. What does happen though is that when you hit 0 your ass is very vulnerable. The odds are that if you get hit (which is more than likley cause you ain't doing nothing) you have to make a FOR/TEM Check to stay conscious.

The optional damage rules sounds like it would work seamlessly.

Oh and the weapons mechanics grew out of reaaing this book on the evolution of weapons and armor plus watching this show Conquest on the History channel. Both talked about why different weapons were invented and how effective they are against X, Y or Z.
