==Internal DV correctness==
The section about "Internal DV" is not correct, it has things backwards. Interally, DV does not have the +6 added but when it comes time to use DV or display it to the player, the combat DV is used which includes the +6. You can see this in the following references:

<code>XRL.World.Parts.Combat.MeleeAttackWithWeaponInternal()</code> - In the section setting event parameters for the Defender DV, the DV parameter is set using <code>Stats.GetCombatDV()</code>.

<code>XRL.World.Parts.MissileWeapon.FireEvent()</code> - In the "CommandFireMissile" case, when determining if the projectile hits the defender the result of the "WeaponGetDefenderDV" event is used. When setting the base DV for that event, <code>Stats.GetCombatDV()</code> is used. To find this, it is easier to ctrl + f "WeaponGetDefenderDV" because this method is an absolute mess.

<code>XRL.Rules.Stats.GetCombatDV()</code> - This is the static method called when getting Defender DV for melee and missile attacks.

This is also observationally true, if the used DV was 6 lower then 25 DV would actually only be 19 DV, and missile attacks would hit a lot easier since Swift Reflexes doesn't actually ''raise'' DV, but negate the -5 penalty that not having it applies.

I'd invite someone to check my work, but I'm pretty confident in the conclusion.
