what is the base damage for a huge impact great sword?


Rules Questions


Playing a half orc titan fighter wielding a large greatsword with the impact enchantment. I plan on drinking a potion of enlarge person to make myself large. So does the damage progresses like this for a greatsword

Medium 2D6-> large 3d6-> huge 4d6-> gargantuan ?d6

Not sure what a gargantuan greatswords base damage is?
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance for any help.


6d6


Further explanation can be found in this FAQ.


Nice almost makes me want to take the vital strike line with that kind of base damage 6d6-> vital strike 12D6-> improved vital strike 18d6-> greater vital strike 24d6. Add in lunge and an enlarge person potion that's a 15 foot reach.


If you have a feat to spare, yeah, Vital Strike is ok, but NEVER use Vital Strike instead of trying to full attack. 6d6 looks impressive, but it only averages 21 damage. Str 26 (+8 bonus x1.5 = 12) plus power attack at 8 BAB+ (+9 damage) does 21 damage, too. Since that won't be all you add to an attack, Vital Strike is definitely not worth it as an "all the time" kind of thing.

I just scream with excitement every time I see an application of that FAQ. Giddy like a school boy on a merry go round.

To OP: Yes 6d6 as mentioned above.
