Point.

| 
| "No Weapon: When a character has no weapons, or in the rare case where a

| penetrate anything with an Armor Value of 1 or more. Occasionally, the

but

I'd agree, except for the clause "...or in the rare case where a critter
has no extra damage dice besides its Strength..."

I can see arguments either way, but I'd rather see a standard system: if
you do STR + anything, you get bonus dice off a head or gizzards hit. 
This, IMHO, is much easier than saying some things get it and some things
don't.
