[QUOTE="Conaill, post: 2880538, member: 1264"] I prefer to use the "Larger and Smaller Weapon Damage" table instead - much more complete than the "Increased Damage By Size" table (quick - what would 6d8 increase to?). Besides, the MM still has plenty of the old 3.0 weapon damage inconsistencies they tried to iron out in 3.5. Yes, 2d8 should increase to 3d8.For example, a Large 2d8 bastard sword becomes a Huge 3d8 bastard sword. But 2d8 isn't a standard damage for a Huge weapon to begin with, and 3d8 isn't a standard damage for a Gargantuan one. WotC may not have bothered changing all of the MM over to the new standard weapon damages when they went to 3.5 (they might have had to call it 3.6 otherwise), but I'd prefer to stick to the 3.5 standards when creating new critters, if at all possible.
