"Weapon Damage is determined by weapon type. For each 5 points of STR above 55 gain +1 to melee damage (62 STR causes +1 damage, for instance)."
Shouldn't a 62 STR cause +2 damage? Because of rounding in favor of character.
Answer:
For each full 5 points of STR you gain +1 to damage with melee weapons. In this case you do not round in favor of the character.
Score Bonus_Damage
55 +0
60 +1
65 +2
70 +3
75 +4
80 +5
85 +6
90 +7
95 +8
100 +9
105 +10
and so on.

To get the +1, you have to have the full five count. Kind of like you are filling in boxes, every time you fill 5 boxes you get a bonus.
So your first bonus occurs at 60. 62 only has two boxes filled in, so there is no additional bonus. It isn't until 65 that you get +2. Rounding doesn't apply.
