Huge size and monks unarmed damage

[Minosis]

I am currently playing a large sized tattooed monk. One of the tattooes that Iam going to take is the chameleon. This allows the user to cast alter self once a day per tattoo and remain in the new form for up to 1 hour per level. Alter self allows the user to change into the same type of creature 1 size category smaller or larger. So my question is where are the rules for a huge sized monks unarmed damage. And what are the other penalties associated with becoming huge, and bonuses although the spell states the user keeps their stats.

What race is your monk?

If he's Humanoid, he may have a problem - there are no Huge Humanoids I'm aware of.

If he's a Giant, you may still have a problem finding a Huge Giant race with 5HD or less...

All of that is irrelevant, lets say that he is human with the open fist ability from Oriental Adventures and now with alter self he can become large, since the open hand ability allows him to count as 1 size category larger what is the new damage?

He can't 'become large'. He can assume the form of a creature of the same Type within one size category, with 5HD or less.

As a human, his type is Humanoid. So he can assume the form of a Small, Medium, or Large Humanoid, with 5HD or less.

He can't become a Large human; humans aren't Large.

Find a Large Humanoid, and use it in your example.

Let us say for the sake of argument that he is a minotaur, which he is, so he is already large. He is therefore a monstrous humanoid. But again all of that is unimportant. If he is already large and uses the open fist ability from OA then he would be considered huge for damage. What would that damage be?

Check the Increased Damage by Size table.

Of course, the Chameleon tattoo still won't help unless the character is familiar with a Huge Monstrous Humanoid with 5HD or less
