Enlarge Person and Reach Weapons

Out of curiosity, what would the reach and damage be of the half-giant 2 sizes larger wielding an oversized scythe?

Which chart is used when determining the damage of larger weapons?

What is the text on this "oversized" bit. A few things don't stack with powerful build, like Monkey Grip, because they let you use a larger size's weapon, something powerful build already did.

A medium 2d4 weapon bumped to huge does 3d6. With mighty build a huge critter could wield a gargantuan scythe [4d6]. If somehow the huge creature could wield the collosal scythe, the damage would be 6d6. No reach would be gained unless noted by the power or ability. The creature not recieving any reach from such a immense weapon is as unrealistic and unreasonable as the ability to use such a weapon in the first place.

Powerful Build: The physical stature of half-giants lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger.

Whenever a half-giant is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the half-giant is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him.

A half-giant is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A half-giant can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.

By oversized I just meant 1 size larger. So as a huge creature he would only threaten a 5' or would it be 15' (medium 5', large 10', huge 15')?

The only point to this really, is for the impressive critical attacks (not very economical but...).

It looks like a huge through expansion power gets gets face 15/' reach 15'.

If your new size is Large or larger, you have a space of at least 10 feet and a natural reach of at least 10 feet.

If you spend 6 additional power points, this power increases your size by two size categories instead of one. You gain a +4 size bonus to Strength, a -4 size penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum effective Dexterity score of 1), a -2 size penalty on attack rolls, and a -2 size penalty to Armor Class due to your increased size.

And with the Heavy Weapon feat (for using a magically treated gold or platinum weapon) that 2d4 weapon becomes a 2d6 weapon, to 3d6 with powerful build, and to 6d6 with 2 levels of expansion...

Have you ever had a monk1/druid9 with Animal growth and wildshape into a giant octopus with 8 attacks and reach 40? AND a land speed ?

But holding your breath's gotta suck. Imagine if you were hit with con damage right as you're running out of air. There's be octopus stew for months!
