Modern Armor adjusted for Behind Armor Blunt Damage.

 Following my version of edge protection, here's my take on making modern armor less "all or nothing". The basic idea is from: https://jetgurps.blogspot.com/  The idea for my version is simple: Instead of just turning piercing damage to blunt, which doesn't really do anything if the enemy didn't hit the vitals (or making it worse, as pi- would have its damage increased!), the damage is halved and turned into blunt.  BABT Modern Armor Table The armor on this table covers all body parts except Neck, Face and Eyes.

Adaptable [15] : Humans may spend 15 points on advantages or skills, but not Primary or Secondary Stats.     Agile Species [25] Small, sometimes furred fast little buggers. ST -1 [-10] DX+2 [40]; Speed -0.5 [-10] SM -2 [0]; Hearing +3 [6]; Will +1 [5]; Fright +2 [4]; Combat Reflexes [15]; Curious [-5], Skinny [-5]; Curious (12) [-5]; Impulsiveness (12) [-10] Features : Fur or weird skin. -10 40+6+5+4+15=70 -10-10-5-5-5-10=-45     Charismatic Near-Humans[25] The typical "Human but attractive and blue/red/green" races.
