According to the FAQ, a small-sized 1d10 increases to 2d6 medium-sized.
A medium-sized 1d10 increases to 2d8 large-sized.
Unless I'm not understanding your question.
If the initial size is Small or lower (or is treated as Small or lower) or the initial damage is 1d6 or less, instead increase the damage by one step.

The subject says it all really, what would the damage be for a small sized great sword with lead blade cast on it.
Great sword (medium) 2d6
Great sword (small) 1d10Shouldn't the damage from a small great sword under the effects of Lead blade spell take it back up to 2d6? The rules says it jumps to 2d8 I am confused by this. please help.
Thanks.
PLEASE tell me that Herolab is telling you that the damage is 2D8. Because if it is, then that makes the FAQ link irrelevant.

This is a joke/sarcasm, right?
Because the FAQ is certainly more official than a third-party character building program.

It is sarcastic, yes, but considering that Herolab is used more often than not to get/overturn current rules answers, there is still some genuine concern.
It might not overturn a FAQ, but I know for sure that Herolab has been the key for (almost always) negative Errata, and who is to say this won't be more of the same?
Because 2d8 is better than 2d6, making it not a negative errata?
Also, I'm not sure any FAQ (like, ever) has been overturned with an errata.
If it makes it into the FAQ, it's written in stone.

Every answer/result from Herolab is usually responded from an official developer (or even the developer committee itself), which means it has as much weight as the PDT posts regarding FAQ/Errata, considering that both come straight from the horse's mouth.
Also, not everything is written in stone. FAQs have been overturned before. They're rare, true, but it has happened.
No, small 1d10 is a small weapon so it only goes up 1 step of the chart instead of two. A medium 1d10 goes up two steps. Because that's the rule laid out in the FAQ.
No, increases to damage dice work as a "virtual" or fake weapon size increase.

Okay thanks for the information,not sure why they did it that way, but i will go with it.No, small 1d10 is a small weapon so it only goes up 1 step of the chart instead of two. A medium 1d10 goes up two steps. Because that's the rule laid out in the FAQ.
No, increases to damage dice work as a "virtual" or fake weapon size increase.
Because there was a mess of different methods of calculating size increases spread across a number of books written over a number of years and they had to do the best they could to make them mesh as much as possible.

No. Lead Blades advances damage die according to the size table progression you are on. In this case, it would be still Small.
The size table for small is not just the medium table cranked back one step.
