Bludgeoning Damage type - D&D Portal Wiki

What It Is

Bludgeoning is a damage type. Damage types label what kind of harm an attack, spell, hazard, or feature deals.

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

Use bludgeoning when applying damage, resistance, immunity, vulnerability, or features that care about that damage type.

Limits And Rolls

A damage type does not decide the damage dice by itself; the attack, spell, feature, or hazard gives the dice.
Resistance usually halves damage of that type; vulnerability usually doubles it; immunity prevents it.
If an effect changes the damage type, use the new type for resistance, immunity, vulnerability, and related features.
Roll the damage dice given by the source of the damage.
