Damage progression on weapons

Malignant Mind

First Post
I need to know what the damage progression on weapons are...specifically 12 steps beyond 1d10 and 12 steps beyond 2d4. I can't seem to find it anywhere, at least not for numbers that big.

Why twelve steps? There are only 9 different weapons sizes in 3.5e (small to collosal), so I'm not sure what you're after. And it's unlikely you'll have a small weapon that can start doing damage at 2d4 or 1d10, as most of those start as Medium weapons.

Anywho, the progressions would be this for medium to collosal weapons (under the weapons section in the SRD):

2d4, 2d6, 3d6, 4d6, 6d6.
1d10, 2d8, 3d8, 4d8, 6d8.

the Rules Compendium has the latest and most complete version of the damage progression.

I don't have access to it right at the moment, but I'll check at home for a page reference at least.
 


Twelve steps because I'm designing two weapons...both made from orichalcum from the Immortals Handbook...which increases the weapon damage by twelve steps. Rules compendium only goes up four steps unfortunately.

But, a Colossal creature could take Improved Natural Attack (I generally frown on this, but it is doable), thus making it's effective weapon damage size beyond most, if not all, of the available charts.

You've also forgotten Tiny, Diminutive, and Fine. Granted, these three are fairly rare, the latter 2 especially, but, they do exist.

As for the OP if you can't find a chart that goes high enough, consider taking the end of a row and finding that damage on the start side of the chart. You might also be able to reverse engineer an answer from the downsizing charts.

Didn't forget. I just included the progressions from the weapon damages he'd listed. In most cases, those weapons are Medium size.

Looking at the pattern and extrapolating, you could do this:

2d4, 2d6, 3d6, 4d6, 6d6, 8d6, 10d6, 13d6, 16d6, 19d6, 23d6, 27d6, 31d6.
1d10, 2d8, 3d8, 4d8, 6d8, 8d8, 10d8, 13d8, 16d8, 19d8, 23d8, 27d8, 31d8.
