I've been overthinking ST lately* and I'm in two minds about the cost. Should it be changed to:
ST [5/lvl]: StST [1/lvl] + LfST [2/lvl] + HP[2/lvl].
I've done this in my last three campaigns while reducing Sw damage to thr+2. I don't feel that anything has really broken and it has encouraged people in high-tech and ultratech games to buy 1-3 levels of ST for the extra HP and encumbrance.
