Slashing weapons

Dungeons and Dragons categorizes weapon damage into three types: bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing. Slashing weapons deal damage by force applied by a long sharp edge, whereas piercing weapons apply their force at a point 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]
