    Default 3.0 Damage die progression?

    What is the damage die progression for 3.0? I am trying to piece it together for spells in the Epic Handbook.

    if I recall, I believe its the same as in 3.5 and Pathfinder which looks something like this...

    1
    1d2
    1d3
    1d4
    1d6
    1d8
    1d10
    2d6
    2d8
    3d6
    3d8
    4d6
    4d8
    6d6
    6d8
    8d6
    8d8
    12d6
    12d8
    16d6

    It does not go 2d6 -> 2d8. It goes 1d10, 2d6, 3d6, 4d6, 6d6... If you start with multiple d8's then it does 2d8, 3d8, 4d8, 6d8...

    The Epic Handbook, when describing epic spells said it ended with d20s.

    3.0 monk ended with 1d20 damage per punch, too. 3.5 has 2d10

    By RAW, you have to stop playing with the guy.

    Epic spells have a unique progression. The progressions for weapons and natural weapons are found here under Equipment>Weapons and Creatures>Monster Overview.

    Well, that isn’t at all confusing. I didn’t see the rules for epic spell damage die progression in the Epic Handbook, so I’m not sure what to do.

    For epic spells, the die type just goes up one, d6>d8>d10>d12>d20, or down one d6>d4.
