	In combat, characters and NPCs will use attacks with various '''Damage Types''' that can be reduced or increased based on a number of factors. Targets with '''Weaknesses''' to certain damage types will take '''extra damage''' and become more susceptible to '''linked status effects''' while targets with Resistances will take '''less damage''' from those sources and may '''resist or be immune''' to linked status effects. Damage can also be Nullified to deal '''no damage and negate status effects''', Absorbed to '''heal HP''' from exposure to the damage type, or even Repelled to '''reflect damage back''' to the sender. Modifications to how creatures react to damage types is usually '''Uncommon''' and only rarely will creatures have '''high resistances to most or all''' damage types.

New page

In combat, characters and NPCs will use attacks with various '''Damage Types''' that can be reduced or increased based on a number of factors. Targets with '''weaknesses''' to certain damage types will take extra damage while targets with '''resistances''' will take less damage. Characters with '''Armour-Rating''' may also modify damage taken based on the damage type it resists.

=Damage Types=
==Physical==
The most common damage type for attacks. Produced by '''unarmed strikes, regular melee, ranged and improvised weapons'''. Physical attacks are separated into three sub-types: Blunt, Sharp and Pierce. Physical attacks have the natural ability to deal '''Critical hits''', though this is a property of the weapon/attack and not necessarily the damage type.

♦ Physical Damage types are always resisted by Armour-Rating when damage types are unspecified.
♦ When a property refers to 'Physical' with no subtyping, assume it means all Physical subtypes.

'''Subtype: Blunt'''
Physical: Blunt refers to a damage type that is flat, rounded or bludgeoning in nature. Unarmed strikes, Clubs and thrown stones often fit this subtype.

'''Subtype: Sharp'''
Physical: Sharp refers to damage from attacks that are narrow and cutting in nature. Swords, Axes, Claws...ect often fit this subtype.

'''Subtype: Pierce'''
Physical: Pierce references to damage from attacks that are pin-point and precise in nature. Firearms, Shuriken, Throwing-Knives and Sharp weapons used in certain ways often fit this subtype.

==Heat==
Heat damage is part of the elemental set that is closely associated with '''Fire'''.

♦ Heat counts as a synonym for Elemental.

♦ Can inflict '''Ignite''' and '''Burn''' status effects if the target does not resist Heat damage.
'''Ignite''': Set target on fire, dealing Heat damage over time until extinguished.
'''Burn''': Lasting damage due to Heat damage, Burned targets take a small amount of damage each time they take an action/command aside from movement. A persistent status effect.

==Cold==
Cold damage is part of the elemental set that is closely associated with '''Ice'''.

♦ Cold counts as a synonym for Elemental.

♦ Can inflict '''Chill''' and '''Freeze''' status effects if the target does not resist Cold damage.
'''Chill''': Partially freezes target, reducing their movement speed by half and doubling the Action-Point cost to commands.
'''Freeze''': Completely freezes target solid, preventing them from taking any action until thawed.

==Wind==
Wind damage is part of the elemental set that is closely associated with... '''Wind'''!

♦ Wind counts as a synonym for Elemental.

♦ Can inflict '''Stagger''' and '''Knock/Down''' effects if the target does not resist Wind damage.
'''Stagger''': Prevents the target from being able to use Guard or Dodge skills/commands, inflicting Stagger on a Staggered target inflicts Knock.
'''Knock/Down''': Causes the target to fall to the ground defenceless and/or send them in a certain direction dictated by the event that caused it.

==Electric==
Electric damage is part of the elemental set that is closely associated with '''Electricity'''.

♦ Electric counts as a synonym for Elemental.

♦ Can inflict the '''Shock''' status effect is the target does not resist Electric damage.
'''Shock''': Causes the user to take electric damage over time, other targets within natural reach of the target may also take electric damage over time.

==Psychic==
Psychic damage is closely associated with '''Psionics'''.

♦ Psychic attacks do not normally inflict status effects, instead they deal bonus damage to targets afflicted with '''Psychological status ailments'''.

==Nuclear==
Nuclear damage is closely associated with '''Nuclear Energy'''.

♦ Nuclear attacks do not normally inflict status effects, instead they deal bonus damage to targets afflicted with '''Physiological status ailments'''.

==????==
==????==
==Metaforce==
Metaforce damage is the essence of the '''Metaforce''' and supersedes all other damage types.

♦ Metaforce attacks cannot exploit elemental weaknesses or inflict status effects by itself, but Metaforce attacks cannot be resisted by normal means.
