What is the damage of a great sword in gold and with one size category in more (Large -> Huge) ?

Thanks for your future answer.

they state that making a weapon out of a 'heavy' material increases its damage dice by one step, (there are a couple materials they name and gold is one)

so,
a medium gold greatsword would do 3d6
a large gold greatsword would do 4d6
a huge gold greatsword would do 6d6

if you aren't using them rules it follows the normal rules of increaseing damage dice.
2d6 ->3d6->4d6 ->6d6
med->Lar.->huge->gargan.

Other than the sundering rule, those are the rules for Gold Armor(Ultimate Equipment guide, by Mongoose).

Because yeah, if it were normal gold, the stupid thing would bend under it's own weight, forget actually HITTING anything with it. Might as well use a rubber sword...
