Rolling exactly that roll means 50% of the mob hits (rounded up)

For each number above the successful roll (e.g. rolling a 12 when you need to roll an 11) is another 5% added on to how many hit (55% hit), same going down (rolling a 10 means 45% hit), rounding up

Main thing you need to consider when trying to solve this problem: Do you actually want to play a TTRPG or just have some hangout time with your buddies?

There's nothing wrong with either of these, but if you just wanna hang out with your friends and the TTRPG aspect is causing issues I suggest just dropping it and setting up a movie night or something else the rest of the group would be interested in. It'll probably end up being more enjoyable and will require less effort on your part. All around a win-win.

If you're more interested in actually running a TTRPG however I strongly suggest having a talk with your group about the kind of game *you* wanna run. Then the players can decide on whether they're interested in staying or leaving. Make it abundantly clear that leaving the campaign is not equivalent to leaving the friend group. If someone is still concerned about being left out from a group activity you can still talk to them about the game without them needing to actually be a part of it so they stay "in the loop". You'd be surprised how many people actually enjoy hearing other's D&D stories more than playing the game themselves. It's like getting a highlight reel of the session, which I feel like might be appealing to your tumblr-browsing player in particular.

Firstly, I did my best to set expectations and posted this on my Facebook wall.

All the people who replied and joined the group are all friends of mine, but we're not exactly a friend "group" (although we did all know each other beforehand due to shared social groups). If one person leaves due to various reasons (which I have had in previous groups) its not like they're being excluded from being friends with the rest of us.
