Damage Typing	comment	Not all injuries are created equal. A bullet hurts you in different ways than banging your shin on a nightstand does, and getting burned is a different type of injury than both. They all heal differently, as well. In an attempt to work some sort of realism into the bizarre abstract that is Hit Points, many games come up with different categories of damage, which you mark off in different ways as you get hit in various fashions. In general, you have three types: Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Damage Typing / int_14d341dc	comment	Star Trek Onlineuses this. There are 6 different types of damage that can be dealt by Energy weapons: Phasers, Disruptors, Plasma, Tetryon, Polaron, Anti-Proton, or Proton. Certain enemies use certain types (Federation uses Phasers, Klingons use Disruptors, etc.) but players can use any of these. Certain types of shields or modules for your ship can increase resistance (or effectiveness) to a specific type of damage, which can be very helpful in the face of an enemy with that preference. There's also Cold damage (frequently used by the Breen), Fire damage (environmental), Toxic damage (Gorn's poison bite), Electrical, Kinetic damage (Torpedoes and Grenades), Psionic (Reman Psychic attacks) and Physical damage (Punches, melee weapons.) These latter ones, with the exception of Kinetic, are only possible in ground combat.

Explosive deals full damage to Large units and half to small, and Concussive deals full damage to Small units and half to large. Medium units take 75% from both types. The sequel has a Keyword system that causes Light, Armored, Biological, Mechanical, Psionic, or Massive units to take more damage from certain attacks/abilities (or to No-Sell certain Status Effects, in the case of Massive).

In approximately 75% of cases, the outcome of combat is the same regardless of damage type, but some cards can increase, decrease, or completely prevent certain types of damage. For instance, Legacy can use the power printed on Next Evolution to briefly become immune to one damage type of the player's choice, while The Wraith's Targeting Computer increases the Projectile damage she deals, but not her melee damage.

Damage Typing / int_63a0f17d	comment	This is the heart of the combat system in Role Master. Weapons are categorised by what kind of criticals they cause (which are the real victory factors) and may cause multiple types of criticals depending on the weapon and the opponent's armour. For example, a broadsword causes "slash" damage to lightly armoured opponents and more "krush" damage to heavily armoured ones, while a mace would mostly cause "krush" damage against any armour types. After 2nd edition that changed a bit.

Damage Typing / int_69071a1b	comment	Mutants & Masterminds, has incorporated difference in types in several ways. Generally the system does not have HP, you roll your Toughness against damage and failing the roll accumulates penalties to further rolls. In first two editions, there were two different charts for Lethal and Nonlethal. 1e had entirely different types of damage decided on when the power was taken, and certain damage was forced to be lethal or not, while in 2e any power could do any damage. But either way, Nonlethal damage could only apply penalty to nonlethal damage saving throws, and could, at worst, knock out the foe, where Lethal damage would deal a penalty to both nonlethal and lethal saving throws, and could put the foe into dying state. 3e dropped the difference, with anybody able to deal lethal or non lethal at will, with no separation of penalties. Default setting tone presumes that all damage is nonlethal.

Damage Typing / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: In addition to normal damage, there's "subdual" in AD&D, or "non-lethal" from 3rd Edition onward. Taking nonlethal damage greater than your current Hit Points would knock you unconscious. Taking nonlethal damage EQUAL to your hit points leaves you staggered (read: punch-drunk). In older versions, 1/4 of punching damage is normal; later editions simplified this. Many jokes about how you can punch someone all day without killing them have resulted. You can also choose to deal lethal damage with a punch, but unless you're a monk or mystic, it's at a penalty; the penalty is irrelevant to an incapacitated target. Technically, there's no upper limit to how much non-lethal damage someone can take, so if you spend all day punching them, they'll die of thirst before waking. Pathfinder fixes this by ruling that after a character's non-lethal damage equals their maximum hit points, any further damage is automatically lethal damage. In Basic D&D, subdual damage was only allowed to be used on dragons at first. The dragon thus defeated became indebted to the PC, which might result in getting a handy new pet/mount/NPC. Some books in 3.X also made reference to 'Vile' damage, which was explicitly damaging their very soul, and could only be healed in a place under the effect of a hallow spell. Similarly, Frostburn presented 'frostburn' damage, a type of cold damage which can only be healed in areas above freezing temperatures. This is in addition to damage properties that only matter at the moment the damage is dealt, such as whether the damage is physical or energy (and for energy, its element, like fire or acid), magical or nonmagical, the shape (bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing) and material (cold iron, silver, adamantine, or pretty much anything else) for physical damage. d20 Modern modifies the rules for nonlethal damage; essentially, unarmed combatants can duke it out all day without inflicting a single point of damage. It's not until someone brings in a weapon of some sort that damage is actually recorded. The rules justify it as characters that are involved in fighting can continue fighting on heroic willpower and adrenaline as long as you're only talking about fists and feet. It's not until a weapon is used that the intent to seriously injure or kill becomes available. Basically, you have to up the ante from a fistfight to end it. You can be knocked out if you get punched for enough damage, but it's rare to get hit that hard, short of a Knockout Punch (an actual feat chain), and even then the saving throw is easy. Martial artists can dish out lethal damage with unarmed attacks, though it's less damage than regular brawling attacks. 5th Edition D&D gives you the choice of whether to make the final attack which knocks a monster down lethal or nonlethal, resulting in the target either dying or just being knocked out. It only works for melee attacks, however. A ranged or spell attack that knocks a target down to 0 hit points is always lethal. Also in 5th Edition, rather than having Contractual Boss Immunity, boss-appropriate monsters often have Legendary Resistance: The first three failed saving throws, usually Status Effects, are ignored. The fourth, however, takes full effect and is usually debilitating enough to remind you why Contractual Boss Immunity exists. So, effectively, all bosses have 4 Hit Points that can only be removed by one status each.

Every armour has separate Damage Reduction stats for each type, though Electrical and EMP aren't displayed. Fallout 3 does away with all this and just uses a single "damage" stat. In Fallout 4, damage is once again separated- into Physical, Energy, Poison and Radiation, with separate Damage Reduction stats, but Radiation damage works differently from the other three- it causes Maximum HP Reduction.

Damage Typing / int_87cf8985	comment	The Hero System has two separate "hit point" stats, Stun and Body. Body damage will kill you, Stun damage will just knock you out. As the system was first developed for superhero gaming, it shouldn't surprise anyone that it's easier to do huge amounts of Stun than huge amounts of Body. Hero also has separate damage types, as well, in Normal and Killing. Normal damage tends to do plenty of Stun but only average Body, and Killing Damage does lots of Body and either very little or quite a bit of Stun — known to many players as the "Stun Lotto". note Sixth edition Hero slashed the Stun multiplier for Killing Attacks specifically to make these attacks better at killing an opponent than knocking an opponent out. Under earlier editions, some players used Killing Attacks in hopes that the "Stun Lotto" would give them a huge amount of Stun damage and KO their opponent, but didn't want to kill him. Killing damage also bypasses normal defenses, unless those defenses have been made "resistant" to killing damage; this represents the idea that a prizefighter can be tough enough to take many hard punches, but is just as vulnerable as everybody else to a knife or a bullet. However, once the Stun and Body from either of these types of damage are subtracted from the target's Stun pips and Body pips, the resulting injuries are treated identically.

All of these require different medication to heal (though major wounds turn into minor ones after a while.) Your health is not a fixed amount, but basically is slowly drained by any wounds you have on yourself, and slowly climbs back to normal when all of them are healed.

Damage Typing / int_9f89a5f0	comment	In Gen 3 and later Pokémon games, in addition to the Elemental Rock–Paper–Scissors, attacks also have a property called "contact". Attacks that make contact entail a Pokémon making direct physical contact with their opponent, while attacks that do not make contact entail a Pokémon attacking from range without physically touching them. As a rule of thumb, physical moves make contact, while special moves do not. Some moves and abilities are dependent on a Pokémon making contact: Spiky Shield inflicts damage on an opposing Pokémon if their attack makes contact, for instance, while Poison Touch has a chance of inflicting poison if the Pokémon with this ability lands an attack that makes contact.

Damage Typing / int_a825da3e	comment	In Magic: The Gathering, normal damage dealt to creatures disappears at the end of the turn (as long as it's not lethal), wither damage permanently weakens the creature, and deathtouch damage destroys it immediately, no matter how much damage is dealt. Each of the 5 colors can also be seen as having their own damage type, as certain cards will grant your creatures resistance to damage from a particular color. When players take damage, they lose life. Damage to players can be prevented or redirected just like damage to creatures. On the other hand, some effects cause players to lose life directly, bypassing the damage mechanic entirely; these effects aren't subject to damage prevention or redirection. However, prior to a recent rule change, damage to players could be redirected to planeswalkers, while life loss couldn't. Now, some damaging effects can target planeswalkers, while lifeloss can't. Early on in the game's history, there were creatures and effects that gave opponents Poison counters. Get ten Poison counters, and you lose. The mechanic was more or less pointless unless you built your entire deck around shooting for this win condition, and such decks tended to be suboptimal compared to doing damage the old-fashioned way. Poison became much more effective with the introduction of the "infect" ability, which caused creatures to deal wither damage to other creatures and poison damage to players.

Damage Typing / int_c399cd39	comment	Eclipse Phase has physical health and mental health. The former is only depleted by actually taking damage from some source (e.g. being punched), whilst the latter can be depleted simply by seeing things that would upset the mind (and/or stomach) of regular people. Wander into a crime scene where the victim was carved into chunks and their blood was used to repaint the room? You might be today's Vomiting Cop. Take too much physical or mental damage at once (exceeding a Wound/Trauma Threshold) and you can even develop temporary or permanent Wounds and Traumas; that regular punch might give you a black eye, but if you get really badly wounded by a berzerk robot with a chainsaw you could lose An Arm and a Leg. Worse yet these threshold-breaking incidents can also knock you unconscious outright or put you into a catatonic state, leaving you incredibly vulnerable or otherwise removing you from the active scene for some time. Characters that suffer too much physical damage will outright die (though generally Death Is a Slap on the Wrist in-setting, unless you're too poor to afford a new body), whilst those that experience too much mental damage will need to be sent away for expensive and time-consuming therapy.

Damage Typing / int_d55ffc53	comment	7th Sea: All damage initially starts as inconsequential Flesh Wounds which do not hamper a character directly and heal automatically at the end of the scene. However, whenever Flesh Wounds are gained, the character has to roll Brawn against the total number of Flesh Wounds he has. Success means he simply keeps the Flesh Wounds he has, but failure causes him to lose all Flesh Wounds and gain a number of Dramatic Wounds. This usually works 1 Dramatic at a time, but failing by a certain amount causes additional Dramatics, and that's when the damage type is relevant (though only the most recent source of wounds). For example, a character gains an extra Dramatic Wound for every 20 he came up short from being punched or stabbed, but will gain 1 extra Dramatic for every 10 he was short for being shot, and for every 5 from being caught in an explosion.

Damage Typing / int_dbd793bc	comment	d20 Modern modifies the rules for nonlethal damage; essentially, unarmed combatants can duke it out all day without inflicting a single point of damage. It's not until someone brings in a weapon of some sort that damage is actually recorded. The rules justify it as characters that are involved in fighting can continue fighting on heroic willpower and adrenaline as long as you're only talking about fists and feet. It's not until a weapon is used that the intent to seriously injure or kill becomes available. Basically, you have to up the ante from a fistfight to end it. You can be knocked out if you get punched for enough damage, but it's rare to get hit that hard, short of a Knockout Punch (an actual feat chain), and even then the saving throw is easy. Martial artists can dish out lethal damage with unarmed attacks, though it's less damage than regular brawling attacks.

Damage Typing / int_e5c5bc22	comment	GURPS takes this every possible way it could be handled. There's burning, corrosion, crushing, cutting, impaling, small piercing, piercing, large piercing, huge piercing and toxic. All damage types will end up reducing the victim's hit points—you don't have to track damage separately for the different types—but some damage types give a multiplier to the amount of damage that gets through the victim's armor. Further, some kinds of armor give varying amounts of protection depending on what sort of damage they are protecting from. On top of that there are also attacks that damage fatigue points, making characters more exhausted rather than damaged. Then after all of that it also handles radiation damage as a sort of hybrid between the other types of damage. In short it has rules for every possible way one could cause damage, and different ways characters are expected to react to them.

Damage Typing / int_f00d733b	comment	White Wolf games (such as World of Darkness and Scion) have three separate damage types: bashing ("Ow, that bruises!"), lethal ("OK, that's a bit more than a flesh wound"), and aggravated ("MY VERY BEING IS RENDED!"). Bashing heals in fifteen minutes a level, lethal in two days, and aggravated damage heals in terms of weeks. If damage goes off your chart, it goes up a level - your fists deal bashing damage, but if you keep hitting them you will beat them to death - and once you run out of bashing levels, it takes a lot of effort not to pass out.

Damage Typing / int_fa5e90fd	comment	City of Heroes is very similar to GURPS with the damage types: Smashing, Lethal, Fire, Cold, Energy, Negative Energy, Toxic, and Psionic. Different powers provide varying amounts of resistance (damage absorption) or defense (dodging and deflection) to these types. Then there is the Hamidon, whose attacks deal untyped damage which bypasses all of this.
