There have been changes. An AP of sufficient skill gets
something like the protection you're talking about. No, it
isn't available by default, you do have to earn it, but it
it's there, and seems both fair and balanced.

My suggestion would be that if there isn't a chance for +STR off
a charge, that would be cool to have. -STR completely boned me
when I tried my last AP. Maybe the chance is there and I had an
unlucky streak with the RNG.
