[QUOTE="javcs, post: 4590138, member: 43677"] Runestar, I considered that, but then I realized that the size increase and damage dice increase isn't consistent if you use a flat multiplier - ie a 1d4 weapon upsized once is 1d6, upsized again is 1d8, whereas a 2d4 weapon upsized twice is 3d6. 2d8!=3d6 => problem with that idea Oh, I agree that it's almost certainly unnecessarily big - however ... the PC's aren't going to be able to use them (wrong size and non-proficient). Who said it was normal? Also ... a mercurial greatsword isn't particularly over the top. It's a 2-handed Martial weapon according to the supplement I found it in; I'm making it a 2-handed Exotic weapon. It's in WotC's 3.0e Diablo2: Diablerie supplement for D&D. DMs be warned - don't let your players use that book. Now, normally, I don't use that book - for anything. However, due to the nature of the campaign and the current opposition (invading forces from another Material Plane - something currently unknown to the party), I've decided that employing aspects from that supplement will help emphasize the fact that the party is facing foes that aren't from around here, even if they look kinda familiar.
