Oh, yes. Hence the question:"Would it be fun?"

I'm just saying that it is easy to solve, because you only have to reduce the average damage to appropriate levels and that's as simple as reducing the damage. Whether the solution is a good one is a different topic - that's where you discuss whether you'd rather do a lot more work for the same result or not.
