<p>In general, damage increases by about 50% for one size increase, or 1.5x1.5 = 2.25, so 125% for two size increases. Average damage on 1d8 = 4.5. 4.5x2.25 = a little over 10. Average damage on 3d6 = 10.5, so fair enough. Though 4d4 is an option, too.</p>hmm, I'm going to guess this is like going from Tiny to Large, so for a 1d8 bow, that's now 3d6.
