Re: (TFT) Erol's smoother St damage table

[ErolB1@aol.com]

FWIW, I've tweaked my St / damage table further, in my latest house-rule 
rewrite: 

Strength:   1-4    5-8    9-12   13-16   17-20   (optional: 19-20)
Damage:     1d-5   1d-4   1d-3   1d-2    1d-1         (2d-4)

Strength:    21-28    29-45    46-57   58-75   76-87   88-105    +30
Damage:      2d-3     2d-2     3d-4    3d-3    4d-5    4d-4     +(1d-1)

This allows me to drop in the following "bonus damage" house rule: 

*****************
*Bonus Damage:*

Characters who have at least four points above the minimum needed to use a 
weapon get a bonus to damage: +1 damage for every four full points above the 
minimum St requirement. A cutlass (requiring St 10) normally does 2d-2 
damage. With St 14 it does 2d-1 damage and with St 18 it does 2d damage. 

Points of St above St 20 count at half value toward this damage bonus. Points 
above St 30 count at one-third value. For example, a very strong character 
using a St 15 battleax would get a +1 damage bonus at St 19, +2 damage at St 
26, +3 damage at St 36, and an additonal +1 damage for every additional +12 
St.  

Bows, crossbows, and guns do not get this damage bonus at all.
