Just try it on for size: put any two 32 point characters in an arena armed with anything they like and give one any armor you wish with ENC only penalties and the other no armor. I'm guessing 90+ % victory chance for the armored combatant. Really, the only possible strategies for the unarmored combatant are: heavy crossbow and hope to get lucky; charging halberd or pike axe and hope to get lucky; pray for a 3 or 4 on your first attack.

Honestly, that is all probably about as it should be.
