What It Is
Damage Types collects related damage type references in one place.
This page is a compact play reference. If a spell, feature, monster, item, or DM ruling gives a more specific instruction, use that specific instruction.
How To Use It
Open a specific reference below when a class feature, spell, item, monster, or ruling points to it.
Limits And Rolls
- These pages are quick references, not full character options.
- Specific rules override the general reference when they conflict.
- You only roll when the rule, DM, spell, item, or feature asks for a roll.
