Under KYOS ST 10 does 1d-1 thrust so that would mean ST 20 would do 10d-10 or 8d-3?

I simply used KyoS to find the basic lift then converted it to normal strength and then got to that strengths damage.
I am pretty sure its not perfect by any means but my aim was to follow the Basic book strength chart.
