Can someone help me with some weapon math please?

I saw the formula the other day, but I ran into some interesting conflicting info when I compared it to the Arms & Equipment Guide table. Most people seem to go off the monk table for weapon damage, but I found the Arms & Equipment Guide use a slightly different one.

Right now we have a large creature using a huge weapon. The medium size weapon damage is 1d12
The table is as follows for this size
Med - Large - Huge - Gargantuan - Colossal
1d12 - 3d6 - 4d6 - 6d6 - 8d6


So the base damage of the huge weapon is 4d6 right now with no magic changes. After applying greater mighty wallop, it caps at colossal - so 8d6, but then I can cast enlarge weapon and make it one step higher, and there is also the sizing weapon enchant as well.

My question is, what would the next 2 steps be?

Also as a side topic related to this, if there are any other ways to increase the weapon damage further, those would be most welcome, but then I may need even more steps too.


Thanks :)

I don't think the Monk weapon damage has anything to do with size... The srd has this:
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/weapons.htm#weaponSize

Which is taken out of the equipment section of the PHB. It still only goes up to 8d6, but iirc there is some source that gives an additional +2d6 per size category. I'm AFB right now and it may be in the PHB but not the SRD...

After a point, every 2 steps doubles the damage.
3d6 > 4d6> 6d6 > 8d6 > 12d6 > 16d6 > 24d6

This. You'd need to see if you default to d8s or d6s with a given weapon, but it's easy once you get to a d6 or d8.

Ya see, that is a lot more simple to understand then the formula I saw a while back. Thanks guys!
