Extra Damage inflicted by Size 2 or greater Creatures

Instead of the rules in SotDL, unarmed strikes increase in damage from a base of 1 to 1d3, weapons dealing less than 1d6 increase to a base of 1d6 and all weapons dealing 1d6 or more usually increase by 1d6 damage. For example, a Size 2 creature with Strength 13 does an unarmed strike of damage 1d3+1 (inctead of 2), dagger damage of 1d6+1 instead of 1d3+1, and sword damage of 2d6+2 instead of 1d6+2.
