Realistically, it would never happen, the fighter would just have the satisfaction of being able to scratch the enemy before dying a horrible death. And the reason is, for the enemy to have a defense so high that the fighter could not hit it except on a crit, the monster would need to be about 15 level higher than the fighter, in which case, it has so much more HP that it will have the time to kill the fighter 10 times before it might even become slightly threatening. DoaM was mostly reserved to Daily powers so the fighter is unable to spam them. Only At-Will that do damage on a miss is Reaping Strike and it will do your strength modifier (half if you're not using a two-handed weapon), so not a lot....But, if you think it would be a problem for whatever reason, I would refer you to your own advise: houserules are your friend. Just say that to be able to do damage on a miss you need to be able to hit the creature to begin with. And if the players complain, ignore them.</blockquote>
