Number crunching for a Giantslayer character. The Giant Blooded campaign trait halves the oversized weapon penalty. If my goliath druid w/Giant-Blooded uses a large sized club, is that just a -2 penalty. Also, if Shillelagh is cast on a large sized club, the dmg would be 2d8? What if enlarge person is cast, 3d6? I think that's right, but the weapon size core explanation confuses my fragile mind. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The penalty for wielding an oversized weapon is -2. Giant Blooded reduces this to -1. I do not believe this changes with size changes so if you were a large character wielding a huge weapon it would be -2 to hit, or -1 with that trait.
Normally a club does 1d6. Shillelagh increases it 2 size categories to 2d6. This will not stack with any increases in damage with the as if tag so the only way to increase it further is by increasing your own size.
A large size club does 1d8. (If the initial size is Medium or lower (or is treated as Medium or lower) or the initial damage is 1d8 or less, instead decrease the damage by one step.)
1d8 increases to 1d10 then 2d8. So if you are a large size creature wielding a club it does 1d8. If you cast Shillelagh on it, it does 2d8.
(1d8 - 1d10 - 2d8)
The problem is that if you cast Shillelah first than enlarge your club would be 2d6 and increase to 3d6. I am not sure if this is intended and probably stick with the 2d8 from the way it is supposed to work.
