So, to answer your question - you applied the correct rules, and the fact that the person took 15 points of damage, stopped by DR 16, will result in 3 points blunt trauma, for which 2 will be stopped by the skull's innate DR of 2, leaving a total of 1 point that gets through. Damage to the skull is multiplied by a x4 modifier unless it is toxic damage, which collision damage is not. So, net result, is 4 points of damage when all is said and done.
Umm, no. Did you skim the last few posts?
