[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 9222108, member: 23484"] I think the rules are mostly clear, just not what people want. [LIST] [*]A Medium character Enlarged does +1d4 damage, not double damage (PHB, confirmed by Sage Advice more than once). [*]A Medium character using an ogre's weapon does double damage (or whatever the creature's statblock says, taking strength adjustments into account), but attacks with disadvantage. (Up to the DM whether someone can use a weapon sized more than 2x sizes larger). [*]A Medium character Enlarged who then picks up an ogre's weapon does double damage (or whatever the creature's statblock says), no disadvantage (assuming the character has proficiency). [/LIST] (Up for interpretation: With Enlarge, an item "dropped" by an affected creature returns to its normal size "at once". Does this count for ranged weapons, i.e. an enlarged arrow becoming Medium again once fired? Most would say no [it's shot, not dropped], but I can see the case for yes [ithe object leaves the area affected by the spell].) [S](Also up for interpretation: whether one can benefit from GWM when using an oversized weapon. Using an oversized weapon gives disadvantage; GWM requires proficiency with the weapon to benefit from -5/+10. So is the disadvantage from using an oversized weapon due to not having proficiency? Arguably, yes (and if so, then also arguably one could take the Weapon Master feat to train in four oversize weapons. Finally a use for that feat).[/S] EDIT: guess this isn't up for interpretation! :D Thanks, [USER=7037492]@fluffybunbunkittens[/USER] [S][/S] [/QUOTE]
