| * BLUDGEONING: Bludgeoning damage is caused by weapons like maces, hammers, and staves, and by natural attacks like tail sweeps. Bludgeoning damage is reduced by normal physical damage resistance and slashing resistance. | * BLUDGEONING: Bludgeoning damage is caused by weapons like maces, hammers, and staves, and by natural attacks like tail sweeps.

| * COLD, FIRE, ELECTRICITY, ACID: Cold, fire, electricity, and acid damage are all derived from the elemental planes they are associated with. Electricity is associated with the elemental plane of air, while acid is associated with the elemental plane of earth. These damage types are reduced by spell damage resistance, or resistance to their specific type. Among the easiest types of offense to become immune to or defend against well are fire, electrical and acid damage. Refuge from cold damage can be sought via similar defensive spells, too, but not to the same level. | * COLD, FIRE, ELECTRICITY, ACID: Cold, fire, electricity, and acid damage are all derived from the elemental planes they are associated with.

| * FORCE: Force damage is caused by raw concussive force, either delivered telekinetically, or through a spell like bolt of force. Unlike bludgeoning damage, this is not delivered by a melee weapon, but by things like explosions or other bursts. It is rare to find ways to defend against force damage, but also rare to find many things that do it. | * FORCE: Force damage is caused by raw concussive force, either delivered telekinetically, or through a spell like bolt of force.
