Check out Main Rules, pg. 97 under Armor in Hand-to-Hand.  It doesn't
explictly state the above, but it does say that if someone has no
additional damage dice besides its strength, it simply fails to penetrate. 
It doesn't specify whether this should be checked before or after armor
reductions, so I assume it's after.

How about it Charles?  Do we check if an attacker has damage dice for this
purpose before or after armor reductions?
