I propose that anyone struck with a blunt weapon (sling, mace, club, fist, etc.) should take armor negating stun damage equal to half the weapon's normal damage, even if the weapon fails to do HP damage (because of the target's protection). Even if you can't get through someone's armor you can still beat them unconscious. This would make slingers good for something. The effect would be relatively minor on blunt weapons that do enough damage to usually do HP (troll clubs, hurled boulders) and would mostly be effective for weaker weapons (there's some Mictlan troops with maces, obviously slings, vineman fists).

I think that this is a great idea - a good way to add more flavour to the combat system.
