>Wulf> Shieldbreaker: succeed in Close Combat then (as part of the same

Incidently, I might even be prepared to allow AP damage to be inflicted, but require a wound (7 AP trade or Grievous) to 'activate' the feat's special effect.

I agree the rules as presented are bereft of any internal solutions, read as printed they are boring and repetitive. Everything is either an Augment or it takes off AP in an Extended Contest. The names are really irrelevant, the rules just move numbers around with no special effects other than on a few Secrets. House rules are necessary to create any sort of atmosphere or image of a fantasy reality.
This, of course, appears to be a deliberate design philosophy, but hopefully HW2 will give more guidance and examples to help.
