weapon enhancement and size damage categories

[ancientdm]

I am considering putting Lead Blades onto my great axe (1d12 dmg)which then would make it (3d6 dmg). Now if i enlarge how much more of an increase would i get? according to the core rulebook i should go to the next category but i dont know what the next category would be from 3d6. Would it change it to like 4d8????? I put the numbers into Hero Lab and it changed it from 3d6 to 4d6 which doesnt seem like much of an increase.BTW I am running a standard Barbarian

4D6 is correct. Which is nearly identical to the increase gained from 1D12->3D6

ancientdm, here is a FAQ that covers damage increases.

If you're Medium and using a weapon dealing 1d8 or higher, you increase the damage dice by 2 steps for every size category gained. 1d12 counts as a 2d6. So a Large greataxe deals 3d6 and a Huge greataxe deals 4d6.
