This is a much more direct way to deal with the problem, though it looks like it took a lot of work!
Thanks :D

Some, however, I have the free time at my job, and GURPS is fun, not work.

Typo, it should be C, 1 / C.

I tested in my game, keeping the multiplier always is not a problem, however, for added realism you can negate the multiplier as per low tech, but almost no one tries a blade against DR.(A broadsword needs ST15 to do the same damage with cutting as it does thrusting against DR3).

ST or HP, what matters is the rider's weight, not horse strength. At least that's what Dan Howard said.
In retrospect, you should use only HP, don't know why I put ST together.

I'll do that, It's actually translated from portuguese, the language we use on our games.
