Piercing weapons

Dungeons and Dragons categorizes weapon damage into three types: bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing. Piercing weapons deal damage by force applied at a point, whereas slashing weapons use a long sharp edge and bludgeoning weapons impact a relatively large area. Some creatures are resistant or immune to certain types of damage. For example, a skeleton takes less damage from piercing and slashing weapons.^[1]
