SS and A&EG both say 3d6. The 3.5 MM will probably be changed to match. All weapon damage as size increases adjusts to d6s.

I wonder what the underlying rationale for a change like this is? I don't know why weapon damage for larger/smaller weapons needed tweaking at all. Any insights?
Cheers!
How does giving the greatsword and greataxe more damage help out the bastard sword and dwarven waraxe people? Did the bastard sword and dwarven waraxe get a boost from the old 2d6?Gumby said:Also, D8s and D10s ended up going to the same 1d12/2d6, which kind of screwed the bastard sword and dwarven waraxe people. Aside from that, every damage die went up by 50% every time the weapon grew larger. Now, with 1d12/2d6 going to 3d6, things are a little more consistent now.
