Category:Bludgeoning weapons

Dungeons and Dragons categorizes weapon damage into three types: bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing. Bludgeoning weapons deal damage by force of impact over a relatively large area, whereas slashing and piercing weapons rely on applying force at a point or with a sharp edge. Some creatures are resistant or immune to certain types of damage. For example, a skeleton takes less damage from piercing and slashing weapons.
