OK, try again now. (BOY is this thing getting picky now about numbers and
stuff. I hope it's not getting too restrictive. I'll have to stop tinkering
at some point soon.)

Theoretically infinite in both directions. It's just a number, and it's
only displayed as a percentage for fun. :) Anything less than 1.0
(equivalent to "100%" strength") is failed, and anything 1.0 and higher is
passed.

It's normalized for +100% being (hopefully) "unbreakable". +200% would mean
extra unbreakable -- above and beyond what's needed. (Again, it's just a
numba.)
