Bigger monsters need to do more damage. The DMG or MM (I can't remember which) gives guidance that as weapons in crease in size. Just give them another die. So a Large sword does 2d8 instead of 1d8 damage. I generally apply the same idea to my monsters. So if a Medium monster's tail does 1d8 damage (+ mod) then a Gargantuan should do 4d8 (+ mod) damage, right? However, what if we increased the mod damage and the dice. So for each step up in size you add another mod. damage.  So you would have 8 (1d8+4) damage for a Medium tail attack (STR 18) or 58 (4d8 +40) for a Gargantuan one. That seems better than what we get in the MM!Red Dragon Tail: 19 (2d8 + 10) vs.Improved Red Dragon Tail: 58 (4d8 +40)[ATTACH=full]363268[/ATTACH]Here is an example I developed with these ideas later in the thread:[ATTACH=full]363425[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
