Please recall that AP don't measure damage, they measure relative advantage.
"Harstal lunges forward, running his spear through the vampire."
"His spear slides through the vampire like was made of cheese, almost catching Harstal off balance because of the lack of resistance. The vampire just laughs. Harstal's spear is now stuck in the vampire. He loses 10 AP."

How about an automatic augmentation? In the presence of garlic, the 20 point flaw acts as a -2 penalty, no roll needed.
