You might be familiar with this same concept from Draw Steel, that's convergent evolution for you. What this allows is to keep randomness as part of the damage equation, but I can design breakpoints better: the health of enemies you can divide by two 90% of the time, you can see where this is going

Most strong hits deal 4 damage, a fair few npcs have 8 Harm, meaning these are two strong hits away from defeat. Additional damage comes in two forms: either 1 or 2 added damage, or 3 if its hard to reuse (like breaking a window) meaning that if you do a strong hit, through a window, with +1 damage

You can take out someone in a single hit, if you have +1 damage and roll a regular hit, that makes up for not rolling a strong hit, and so on and so forth. Because of this, you'll have people able to generally defeat a foe almost to the specific Harm value, when it works that is.
