- 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:
- At 50% resistance, a creature takes 50% damage, rounded up. The rounding up happens before the damage halving from a successful saving throw (if applicable).
- At -50% resistance, a creature takes 150% damage
- At 0% resistance, a creature takes full damage
- At 100% resistance, it takes no damage
- At 110% resistance, it is healed by 10% of the damage
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]
