[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8872096, member: 6987520"] Ok, then I would max it out at 1d8 personally, but 1d10 if you want to mirror Monk, at 5th, 11th, 17th, making it d4 - d6 - d8 - d10. For me it would be about keeping it balanced with other Fighter builds: With the Thrown Weapon Fighting Style, you get +2 to damage, just like Dueling. With 4 attacks (level 20), a sword/board would do 4 x (1d8+7), so I wouldn't want a TWFer doing 5 x (1d10+7). That is why I would cap it at d8 to match one-handed weapon maximums. Especially when you consider the TWFer can deal that damage at range (albeit shortish range).
