Does anyone know what the cutoff is for "small" versus "large" monsters when it comes to weapon damage? My guess is that Medium and under are "small", and Large and above are "large", but it's not unambiguous (Dmg vs. small could be interpreted to mean just Small and Tiny). -Ion frigate 20:18, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

I just made a chart based on that observation and added it to the Weapon page, as well as this page here. Pretty sure you're correct (strength page does say that doesn't give a bonus). If anything's wrong, the Weapon page and my chart will need to be revised. Thanks for that comment, at that—I had no freakin' clue and was waiting until I found out to make it.
