What I would say is, creatures are like n00bs, they make as little as quarter damage no matter what mob they are. How often they do that and how often they miss is to do with the calculations made against the avatar's Agility and Defence profession against the Mobs Intel and Strength values. (This is what I feel is going on, although I've no conclusive proof of this)
I specifically linked my test in the other thread for you, Akiran, because i've seen you make this statement before. Even lowly tantillions never hit below 50% max (except perhaps a very rare bug -- even i have hit below min damage before once or twice).

Mob damage distribution is from 50% to 100% max, with a mean of 75%. If anyone has any data to suggest otherwise, please post it.
