[QUOTE="Blue, post: 9222766, member: 20564"] Those rules are for getting monsters to do the right damage range for their CR. These are other monster-facing rules only, like Refresh for abilities. We know for a fact that they are not PC facing as they contradict the PC rules for weapons. For example, a small creature would have disadvantage using a short sword sized for a medium creature using those rules, and that is not true. It is also clear given the low feature/spell level for Enlarge that the damage rate climbs at a rate unable to be matched elsewhere and isn't intended for PC usage. To sum up: the rules in the DMG are clearly in a Monster modification section, and are presented in the context of getting monsters to do the damage that is correct for their CR, and contradict some PC-facing rules. They are not intended nor presented to be general usage weapon size rules. EDIT: [USER=7025508]@Crimson Longinus[/USER] just saw your post, this answers that as well. [/QUOTE]
