First of all, I'm the DM. I can over rule any of this, but I wanted to throw it out there.
I have a player who submitted a Goliath Monk 8 for a campaign.
His argument is that Goliaths can use large weapons without penalty and thus their unarmed damage should also be considered large. Add to this a monk's belt (+5 monk levels for determinining unarmed damage), a Fanged Ring (increase unarmed damage one size category, Dragon Magazine #308), and Improved Natural Attack (increase on more size category for unarmed damage).
As a result of this, his submitted monk hits like 3 greatswords at character level 9.
I'm considering vetoing INA regardless of what the FAQ says, and I think he's out to lunch on the Goliath's base damage, which reduces his unarmed strikes to 3d6 damage. Still significant, but not uber-munchkin either.
Where would you draw the line?
