How much damage would a Huge creature do with a greatclub?

[BOZ]

The weapon is 1d12 in the hands of a Medium creature, so what would it be for a Huge creature? 4d6?

Actually a greatclub is 1d10 if sized for a medium creature. If sized for a large creature, it is 2d8. For a huge creature it is 3d8.

If you start with something that is 1d12 when medium (e.g. greataxe), then it is 3d6 for large and 4d6 huge.

Wait a minute... I don't have the rules in front of me, but doesn't it go:

1d6 -> 1d8 -> 2d6 -> 2d8 -> 3d6 -> 3d8 -> etc etc etc?

So if a greatclub is 1d10 for medium (a psuedo 2d6 for the purposes of dice scaling, just as a 1d12 weapon would be a psuedo 2d8 for the purposes of dice scaling), it would then go 2d8 large, and 3d6 for huge, right?

Or is my memory of the dice increases completely out of wack?

Out of whack. 1d12 and 2d6 are considered "equal". Both scale up to 3d6.

What Corsair said. The best way to work out weapon progression by size is to check the PHB table 7-4 on pg.114 and the MM table 4-3 (pg.291) and even the numbers given under the Improved Natural Attack feat (MM, pg.304).

First, we look up the base damage - 1d10 for a medium greatclub. Then we look at DMG page 29, table 2-2: Increasing Weapon Damage by Size. Two sizes up from 1d10 is 3d8. Simple enough.

actually, a greataxe is what i meant to ask about. :\ but looks like you answered my question regardless.
