The other thing to remember is that 2.4 average damage is much better than 2.4 uniform damage. At first brush it feels like that takes 4+ hits to kill most humans, but in actuality it kills several and maims a bunch immediately because of how stuff lumps. In an ideal distribution each attack with that damage kills 24% of 10 hitpoint units which is waaaay better than knocking 24% off of everybody's hps.
