Two-Handed weapons use 1.5 x Str bonus for damage. Offhand weapons use 0.5 x Str bonus for damage.

why not extend the table to the negative mods too like so:

SM = Str mod
2H = Two-Handed mod
OH = Offhand mod

SM -4 2H -2 OH -6
SM -3 2H -2 OH -5
SM -2 2H -1 OH -3
SM -1 2H +0 OH -2
SM +0 2H +1 OH -1
SM +1 2H +2 OH +0
SM +2 2H +3 OH +1
SM +3 2H +4 OH +1
SM +4 2H +6 OH +2
SM +5 2H +7 OH +2
SM +6 2H +9 OH +3

I made some slight mods to the table with respect to the current values.
specifically,
Offhand with a Strength mod of 0 changed to -1
Twohanded with a Strength mod of 0 changed to +1
Twohanded with a Strength mod of +1 changed to +2

rationale
the Offhand for someone with no bonus should be less than the Primary hand damage.
To smooth out numbers on Twohanded strike for no bonus and +1 bonus I increased the damage slightly.
