My current house rule for this is +1 damage for every *4* St above the 
minimum needed for a weapon. (or +1 per 8 St, above St 20, or +1 per 12 St, above St 
30).

This makes it consistant with my unarmed damage rules (1d-5 for St 1-4, 1d-4 
for St 5-8, 1d-3 for St 9-12, 1d-2 for St 13-16, 1d-1 for St 17-20 (and a 
switch to a new sequence for St 19-20 and above)).
