Forgive me for asking this question if I sound stupid, but I'm a fairly new DM and am soon going to be confronted with this issue.
I mean, sure, everyone can imagine a combat between two human fighters, swinging their swords, or two Colossal dragons locked in a tight battle. But what happens if you take one of each and they fight? How do you describe their attacks on each other? How would I describe the fighter being hit with a bite or claw attack without having him totally eviscerated? And how do I describe the human man swinging his sword at a creature bigger than his house? What or where would he hit? If he knew a monster that size had a weak spot, wold he even be able to hit and damage a creature that big in the first place, let alone penetrate the weak spot?
So, in other words, can you help me on how to describe attacks by creatures far larger or far smaller than their opponent?
