I wanted to know what you think, [@TheUnknowable], about adding a damage threshold.  Basically, you have to go over this amount of excess on your roll before you start dealing damage.  It would create a larger range for ties, so that every blow doesn't end with a wound.  It'd be a pretty small threshold, I'm thinking 3 right now.

does it deduct from the total damage?
