Even if they rolled significantly above-average for their HP on top of their significantly above-average Con, and got their maximum HP up to 13; if they take 12 damage from a hit, then they're going to have a lot bigger problems to worry about than whether their accuracy with their dagger is 65 percent or 55 percent. Accounting for such a penalty is unlikely to improve the integrity of our model to a significant degree.Even for this specific corner-case scenario, with one particular class of one particular level and one particular armor type, going against an opponent with a very specific weapon who happens to roll a specific damage range for their attack; imposing a mechanical penalty doesn't really add anything to the model. It's just inefficient. It's certainly not worth throwing out the representational nature of the model, or claiming it as proof that a hit isn't even a hit.</blockquote>
