[Ansteorra-rapier] Proposed revision to rapier rules

[Ceallach mac Donal]

Sorry, but rather than protecting against broken epees our puncture
resistant armor now protects us against untipped blades.  I know two people
that have taken an untipped blade in the hand through a glove and I don't
want to find out what that would feel like anywhere on my torso.  I quite
like having that protection as I have seen quite a few untipped blades over
the years.
