It's interesting to me that many of us have independently found the same
problems with TFT and have come up with similar solutions. My rule was +1
per 2 points of ST higher than the weapon and -1 per 1 point of ST lower
than the weapon's requirement, with a similar DX adjustment kicking in if
the weapon's required ST exceeds your ST by more than 2.
