The Rules of Fictional Combat
Switchblade:
no, that one's covered by:
THE LAW OF UNARMOURED COMBAT
The likelihood of any character being seriously wounded in any fashion is inversely proportional to the amount of skin that character is displaying
The most effective form of protection in the world is the bikini, which provides complete protection from extremes of temperature, and grants the wearer the mobility to avoid being hit by gunfire or melee weapons. A character in full battle armour is doomed.
COROLLARY 1-A - items of skimpy clothing made out of chainmail are doubly effective
COROLLARY 1-B - armour that at least doubles the physical size of the character is also effective.

Which you didn't mention in the OP. Thus, you missed it, no?

COROLLARY 1-C - The level of protection of skimpy clothing is raised asymptotically in the case that a nontrivial amount of clothing has already been ripped from the character's body during battle.
rive gauche:
--- Quote from: Tergon ---2 – THE LAW OF INVERSE NINJAS
The threat posed by any Ninja is inversely proportional to the number of the Ninja’s allies in any given fight.
One Ninja can defeat an army of soldiers; one soldier can defeat an army of Ninjas. A lone Ninja is a being of awesome power, but when Ninjas come together into groups they become easy targets.
It is theorised that Ninjas draw their power from the same pool of energy, thus weakening them if their numbers concentrate in one area, but this is yet to be proven.
COROLLARY 2-A
This law as it applies to Ninjas also applies to mere mortals, both protagonists and antagonists: the larger the group, the higher the number of fatalities. Certain individuals in any group cannot be killed save by a specific enemy; others die easily (See RULE 6 - THE LAW OF HEROES EN MASSE).
COROLLARY 2-B
Certain kinds of Ninja are more powerful than others, and can thus upset the balance of this law. For example, if we see two Ninjas wearing black, then a lone Ninja who wears white will always be more powerful than both combined. In particular, the Ninja Master trumps all (See RULE 4 - THE LAW OF ELDERLY INVINCIBILITY).

I dunno.. What about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
That guy:
Solid rules, but they seem to go for more of the lower budget / 80's action films.
