Weak hits keep rounding to zero or to one, so armor or bonuses stop mattering

Damage multipliers produce numbers like 2.4, but health is counted in whole points. Rounding that to the nearest whole number erases small bonuses, and a minimum of one makes weak attacks too strong. There is a way to round that keeps the true average without ever showing a fraction.

Why this works

Players cannot see a fraction of a point, but they feel an average over many hits. Rounding up or down by a chance that matches the leftover part gives each single hit a whole number while the long run stays true, so a small bonus still counts a little every time.

When not to use it

Skip it when every hit must be predictable, as in a turn-based tactics game where players plan exact damage ahead. A surprise of one point can ruin their calculation. Round the same way every time there, or show decimals.
