The reason why there are entries after d10 -> 2d8 is that some monsters (without the INA feat) already deal 2d8, 3d8 or 4d8 damage. They included info so you can know what to do when advancing these numbers.Take, for instance, the triceratops (pg 61 of the 3.5 MM). It deals 2d8+15 damage. If one were to give it a few more hit dice, it could gain a new feat. If that feat were INA, that damage would increase from 2d8 to 3d8 according to the second list in INA. You would not know this if the INA feat did not list information for how to advance from 2d8 damage (ie; if it ended at d10 -> 2d8). Simply put, there are two progressions. We need to have both progressions because there are instances that occur on each table. That is why they are there.</blockquote>
