What rule book covers thing like.. Huge Javelins.. I've checked the PHB (refferd to DMG) and DMG refered to PHB.

Also for those that are fimilar with the War Hulk PrC, the Mighty Rock throwing ability says you can use your STR mod to range attacks, Would that only count if you where throwing rocks? what about if you where throwing a .. +2 throwing, returning great axe? or the huge Javelin?


Manks Thanks

Ok 3.5 DMG page 28 Table 2-2: Increasing Weapon Damage by size.
Table 2-3 can be used for smaller weapons

So a huge Javelin is

Medium 1d6
Large 1d8
Huge 2d6

I don't know about the PrC, but unless it specifically says it only applies to rocks, I would say it applies to any thrown weapon.

Ok in the Arms and Equipment guide it is mentioned about larger weapons but remember AEG is 3.0, if you happen to have it it is on page 4, however, this is much more different thant what is in the 3.5 PHB. It states that Large weapons cost twice as much than the listed price (A large Javilin for instance would cost 2GP).

So I would either go with double it for each size increase

Med 1gp
Large 2gp
Huge 4gp (twice the large cost)

Or increase the multiplier by 1

Med 1gp
Large 2gp
Huge 3gp (3X the origional cost
