Staves

The simple way to represent a quarterstaff's poor performance against armor would be to give it a negative armor divisor. (0.5) should cut it, although it does lead to some oddities. First off, the quarterstaff will always suffer at least a -1 damage malus. Secondly, a quarterstaff in the hands of an ST 12 individual will do nothing half the time when striking someone's bare head. How close to reality is this? If a modestly strong individual struck someone on the head with a staff, would you expect for the target to suffer nothing more than a slight sting half the time (with the other half the time ranging from reeling with pain to crumpling from a concussion)?
