With enlarged person on top of these it can get to 12d6, with a 'full' ten levels in monk, with enlarge person, this can get boosted to 6d8! Amazing! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Monk damage scales up the unarmed damage, but allows you to replace natural weapon damage with it: their monk levels and improved natural weapon and greater natural weaon do not stack(at least to my understanding)honestly though, a single level dip into monk is also very strong for this class: claws attacks gain two damage sizes upfront. and + Wis mod to AC when not donning armor, that is worthless in animal form anyways, and they have good wisdom :/Back on to task though, to get into these top end damage dice the character is a huge/gargantuan animal*, if you're ever caught in any kind structure you're either hard pressed to get around or have to give up your dire form entirely:  anything smart enough to move past a 5' wide pathway with a ranged weapon will laugh as it pelts a massive animal with cheepy arrows for 1d1 a pop, for an hour XD[*Huge if the character has the powerful dire aspect, or gargantuan with the massive one. This is assuming the character is not using a hybrid shift with a massive dire aspect, in which case natural weapon damage dice are on par with a great sword, if a lesser aspect and a feat  is sunk into each natural attack]Honestly, if the damage dice size is limited, then it should be done through size, and likely the removal of the powerful dire aspectJust my thoughts though :3</blockquote>
