Well here's an example, wounding a vampire when parrying it's
fist with a weapon.  At the level the vampires have with fist I doubt
they take damage from parries very often.  Add in the weapon resistance
and I don't see how they could take damage from a parry, yet it does
happen.  Also it seems that headbutt affects creatures with weapon
resistance more often then you would think.  Is this because headbutt
does ALOT of damage, or because wr isn't helping as much vs. skills?
Also does seem to indicate that it's mostly vs. weapons.  Here's an
idea.  Both Killian and Roland don't wear much/any armor, and yet both
have weapon resistance.  Why doesn't a character with a high level in
kick challenge one of them and see how well kick does vs. them.  It would
probably answer the question.

This is strange.  A couple of turns ago BB was fighting an
enchanted rat.  Everytime he hit it he wounded it.  He was hitting it in
the head, but I don't think that would change anything.

How many times have you hit a creature with weapon resistance and
was unable to wound it, and yet didn't get the message that you couldn't
get through it's weapon resistance?
