So a troll with a 2d6 Damage Bonus would have have his Damage Bonus limited to 2d3 when using a D3+1 knife. When using a dagger it would be limited to 2d4, etc.
That is just a quick random thought - I do not know the Damage Bonus Progression used by BRP as I have not bought the Zero Edition, so my mindset is coming from the RQ3 DB progression.

How about rolling normal damage bonus, but limiting the damage bonus by the rolled weapon damage, or perhaps just limiting it by the maximum weapon damage.
That's just some ideas. Personally, I'm happy to let trolls, giants, and similar get their full damage dice. I don't mind giving some more granularity on the human end using 1d2, 1d3, 1d4, 1d6, or similar. I also don't mind not having glancing blows for really big creatures. At the granularity of BRP, I'm happy to assume that glancing blows are simply misses and any damage (1 hp or more) is more than just a glancing blow.
