[MR] defining terms

[Medwyn]

The problem arises when you have an armored fighter acting to the other 
extreme. I have seen far too many refuse to acknowledge a blow that was 
obviously sufficient and dismiss it as "light".

Of course, I will admit that this all occurred in my previous kingdom of 
residence, and some years ago, at that. I cannot say that I have 
witnessed this in Atlantia in the time I have been here :)
