Huge Monk Unarmed damage

[mattmaz]

What is the unarmed damage for a huge monk? Using the advancement table from the monster manual and applying it to the large monk damage from the PH. Gives the following:

Levels 1-3: 2d6
Levels 4-7: 3d6
Levels 8-11: 3d8
Levels 12-15: 3d8???
Levels 16-19: 6d6
Level 20: 8d6

That would leave no increase to damge for levels 12-15. Can this be right?

I think it's right. If you really wanted you could give it 4d6 at those levels; it's not a big jump up in damage, but it's more reliable.

No, it's not right. Somehow, you have misread the chart in the DMG, page 28. Here is the correct progression. Remember, Huge is a two step increase from Medium damage. Your 3d8 in question seems to be based on the Small damage of 1d10.

Levels 1-3: 2d6
Levels 4-7: 3d6
Levels 8-11: 3d8
Levels 12-15: 4d6
Levels 16-19: 4d8
Level 20: 6d8

 

[mattmaz]

thanks. That's the chart I was looking for.

... and the chart is also handy if your players polymorph their monk into a treant who then uses flurry of branches....

mmm.. going to make like a tree and beat you to a pulp

Which part of the srd is this in? I am going to try to work out a quick chart for a monk I am making.. he'll have the ability after a few rounds to work his way from large damage up to colossal.
