I mean, 1d-5 is pretty pointless already. Having human skin at AV 0 isn't terrible. Setting it to -1 might work well.
Since we're already using tables and bumping things numbers up from the Size and Range table, I'm curious if a different bump number isn't desirable.

I think I agree that having 1d-5 be largely incapable of causing Injury to a human is probably fine. An average of 0.17 damage and an average of 0 damage aren't that far removed.
I think his current ranges work well (after adjusting TR to be 10 at HP 10, which makes damage work better as well). Consider:
1d-5 is about as low as you can get in damage in GURPS. Having it be DV 1 is intuitive.
This results in human skin being around AV 0, for the baseline. Humans as baseline is intuitive, and rather baked-in to how GURPS normally functions.
Average TR is 10. Given TR is a statistic for the character, this works intuitively for those used to GURPS - above 10 means above-average resilience, below 10 means below-average resilience.
