I tried out the Assassin Imp the other day and I noticed in its stat block, that the reported creature weapon damage is 1d8. Maybe I was seeing things but...

Pnp says that it should be doing 1d4 (http://www.mojobob.com/roleplay/monstrousmanual/i/impassas.html). The regular imp also does 1d4 damage. So this familiar should probably be brought in line with that one, with respect to damage.

That source is AD&D 2E, not 3E. The Assassin Imp is covered in Denizens of Darkness for 3rd edition where it has 1d8 damage.

Oh, Ok. I guess this is already known and there's a reason for it.

Not sure what you mean; you're looking at the wrong source. There's no bug or issue here; just that the damage was changed in 3E.

Yeah, my mistake. No worries.
