Main article: Physical damage

Slashing damage is one of the 10 main damage types of the game, typically inflicted by large swords and axes. Many creatures will inflict it with their claws or teeth, too.

Resistance to a damage type works as a percentage value that can go from -128 to 127:

In Enhanced Editions, resistance to Physical and Poison damage is capped at 100%, and damage that you're immune to no longer interrupts spellcasting.[1]
