34.11 egg shell skulls

40.xx steel impenetrable skulls

Is there anything I can do to fix the skulls?

Skulls aren't that bad in this. You can still get through them with enough grit and/or a proper weapon.

If you have any semi-optimal weapon, you can get through a skull in a few hits.
Even with punches and kicks, it's reasonable to break through one of a similar-sized creature.
If you're going to brain someone without a weapon, scratch their skull first, since it has a better chance of knocking them unconscious. Then start heavy kicking.

I don't remember where I heard it but I think that the REL_SIZE of the skulls are larger than they were in 34.11. Assuming that is the case perhaps there is a middle ground that you would enjoy more?

I've had a few black eyes in regular life and I'm kind glad they weren't able to pulp my skull with their bare hands / shoes,  personally ;).

Previously attacks aimed at head selected brain as the final target in most cases (because it was internal organ of very high relative size) now relsize of skull is roughly equal to brain. Most of the time they are not inpenetrable, attacks just aim the SKULL, not brain. You can just make its relative size smaller. See body_defult.txt
