Modifiers smodifiers ... you would be doing her a massive disservice by not allowing her to keep the armor - she should also be promoted to Captain for having such good taste.

If she does end up getting killed, then you should give her a tomb and bury the artifact armor with her.

The combat effectiveness isn't 120.  You guys do know anybody can edit the wiki, right?

I would believe anywhere from 5-10x. 120 is ridiculously insanely high. You could probably nuke the dwarf and they would survive. The torso, anyway.

It's really hard to say how effective artifacts are. I had an unskilled marksdwarf (well he was legendary marksdwarf, dabbling hammerdwarf/shield user/wrestler) beat 2 tentacle demons to death then get part way though a third with a masterwork boen crossbow before he was killed once (he had run out of ammo) so I'd say they are much better then plain masterworks, even if the material is not the best.

Edit: remember that quality not only gives a damage bonus, but a bonus to skill with the weapon too - something material does not effect and which can make a big difference.
