Naw. It makes piercing melee weapons too powerful compared to the others, and it's not like there are no other uses for it.
And how about getting PA affecting magical defenses (but only partially compared to HV < 0.5.0) depending on what magic prof. you have?
Example:
Lets say PA affected the barrier rating by X points/percent before 0.5.
Now the base PA would affect barrier rating by 0.25*X if your average magic prof. (= sum of all magic prof. divided by 6) are 0.00. And when the average magic prof. is 200 you have PA affecting the barrier rating by 0.5*X. It surely wouldn't be overpowered and equally developed magic prof. would be necessary to reach the full effect.
