The PRD originally contained a number of conflicting charts for how to handle dice increases (and decreases) due to size changes. To handle the conflicts, Paizo issued an errata. The following breaks down the errata.
1. Determine original size.
- Medium
- +1 Size Damage: Increase the damage by 2 steps
- -1 Size Damage: Decrease the damage by 1 step
Small
- +1 Size Damage: Increase the damage by 1 step
- -1 Size Damage: Decrease the damage by 1 step
Size Not Found
- Original is Xd6:
- 1. Find the next lower of d6
- 2. Use that number of d8 as the original damage value
- Example: 10d6 -> 8d8
- Original is Xd8
- 1. Find next highest number of d8
- 2. Use that number of d6
- Example: 5d8 -> 6d6
- Size Not Referenced
- If the die type is not referenced on this chart, apply the following rules before adjusting the damage dice:
- 2d4 counts as 1d8 on the chart, 3d4 counts as 2d6 on the chart, and so on for higher numbers of d4. 1d12 counts as 2d6 on the chart, and so on for higher numbers of d12.
- Original is 2d10 or Xd10
- 2d10 increases to 4d8 and decreases to 2d8, regardless of the initial size, and so on for higher numbers of d10.
3. Determine unique rules.
- +1 Size Damage: If the initial damage is 1d6 or less, instead increase the damage by one step
- -1 Size Damage: If the initial damage is 1d8 or lower
