Know You Own Strength and Power Blow

I love the "Know Your Own Strength" article from Pyramid #3/83. Multiplying logarithms gives wonky results, however, so anything that multiplies your ST has to be replaced with fixed bonuses.

Power Blow doubles your ST, which gives a quadruple Basic Lift. In KYOS terms, this corresponds to a +6 bonus, but I think I'll raise that to +8 to give an easy +2d to damage. The same thinking gives +9/+10 to KYOS Strength for tripling "ordinary" ST... again, I increase that to +12 to give an easy +3d to damage. Does that sounds reasonable?
