I saw a bunch of old TFT websites or house rules that had a rule that allowed you to do +1 damage per 2 points your Strength exceeded the Str minimum of a weapon (to a maximum of +3. The rationale was a) stronger people hit harder regardless of what they were using and b) it encouraged characters to stick with a weapon and not swap it for something bigger (especially going for a two handed weapon).

What do people think about this rule? I'm considering using it. Is this a good idea or a bad idea?
