So if your size is medium and you switch from dagger (d4) to longsword (d8) and you are enlarged, would you still use a longsword that is undersized for you? or would you use one of the appropriate size (2d6?)In the end it is actually rather irrelevant, as in most situations it only adds 1 dice of damage (3.5dmg or 4.5dmg per swing depending on d6 or d8) so either way its not game breaking unless you just combine it in a rediculous fashion.  Combine it with Master of many forms, then wildshape into a giant + wildling clasped battlefist + INA + monk levels + righteous might + monks belt and similar magic items.  You would end up with something like 16d8 or 24d6 per swing (they dont have tables that go up enough to cover 4 size increases above the damage of a large monk)But in any other situation like that it is really not much of a big deal, as there are significantly more broken combinations that are perfectly within the rules.  And in most situations, other than the rediculous one i just mentioned, the monk in question would still be behind dmg wise compared to a 2h sword using barbarian/fighter or the like, as well as having less hp and AC.</blockquote>
