I presume by HTH damage you mean unarmed damage.

The problem with this is that unarmed damage goes up quite slowly - only one point every two ST, then slower. Whereas damage from a weapon in RAW TFT increases at around twice this rate. So your rule makes ST less important, more of a dump attribute.

This is why I prefer the idea of multiplying the ST by something.
