 Since the death frisbee is Str+d6, and the Kevlar is armor 1 against it -
 the weapons damage would get dropped by one step to a d4.
 Since the weapon is still doing damage, the savage gets to add her full
 str. damage for an outcome of (3d8)+d4.

Remeber, str damage is not reduced.  The weapon damage is.  If a weapons
damage is reduced below 1d4 it can not effect the target.
