I personally don't like damage on a missDoaM is the abstraction of an attack that fails to bypass defenses but is so impactful or spread up that some portion of it still wears down defenses. DoaM is targeting AC, missing but hitting Touch AC.
Why should armor save you from a paralyzing touch?And simply I would hate to add Touch AC in "current 5e" as it would buff Dexterity and nerf Strength further (via nerfing heavy armor). You'd have to redo all the ability scores before I'd think it was good. That's why my house rule only allows DoaM as Strength damage.
