Damage type
Slashing
Slashing is a damage type used by attacks, spells, class features, resistance, immunity, and vulnerability.
What It Is
Slashing 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 slashing 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.
