Default ST damage formula

so I finally made a neat formula that you can use to determine how much damage a given ST can do for both swing and thrust.

the formula assumes using the (N+1)d-1/+0/+1/+2 formula that ST10-22 is based on (1d, 1d+1, 1d+2, 2d-1, 2d etc)

for swing: ((ST-10)+4)/4 = dice of damage.

for thrust: ((ST-10)+4)/8 = dice of damage.

decimals are treated as such:

less than or equal to .25 = add 1
less than or equal to .5 but more than .25 = add 2
less than or equal to .75 but more than .5 = add 1d-1

so, lets say you want to know ST 14?

14-10 = 4+4 = 8/4 = 2d6 for swing
14-10 = 4+4 = 8/8 = 1d6 for thrust

what about, say, ST50?

50-10 = 40+4 = 44/4 = 11d6 for swing
50-10 = 40+4= 44/8 = 5.5 = 5d+2 for thrust.

ST 2550? 636d6 for swing and 318d6 for thrust

so what do you all think? :D
