Physical damage

Main article: Damage

Physical damage is typically dealt with weapons, including fists. Different types of weapons cause different types of physical damage, some of them even two:

• Crushing – in most cases dealt by blunt and spiked weapons;
  • Stunning – a non-lethal type of crushing damage caused by non-Monk fists;
• Slashing – large swords and axes are common slashing weapons;
• Piercing – small swords, spears and halberds do pierce, the latter may slash as well;
• Missile – dealt by all ranged weapons, including throwing variants of axes, daggers and hammers.

A creature may be resistant or even vulnerable to one or more of these.
