Helmets with no padding

It seems that the skull's DR should count since you only roll for stunning if the damage is enough to cause a shock penalty.

I don't think skull DR reduces concussion/stun, no padding means your skull won't crack but your brain will slosh just like with no armor.

Since skull has DR 2, you could say anything which would exceed it, would require a HT roll.


That's why I went with a HT roll and FP injury for each 4 dmg stopped by DR, including skull DR.
