[LT] Silk vs Piercing

Tyneras · 09-17-2014, 04:22 PM

I've mentally categorized the damage types as a grid, with area of effect on one side and mechanism of damage on the other.

Area

Broad
Narrow

Mechanism

Energy changes state (fire, laser, lightning)
Dispersal of material (disintigrator)
Smash Material
Separate Material
Disrupt Metabolic Functions (DNA, hemoglobin, etc.)

Resulting in these categories:
[Energy, Broad] Burning Damage (Fire)
[Energy, Narrow] Burning, tight beam (laser)
[Disperse, Broad] Corrosive Damage.
[Disperse, Narrow] ???
[Smash, Broad] Crushing Damage
[Smash, Narrow] Peircing Damage (all sizes)
[Separate, Broad] Cutting Damage
[Separate, Narrow] Impaling (needs variable sizes)
[Metabolic, Broad] Toxic Damage
[Metabolic, Narrow] ???

Some categories don't seem to be represented, and I agree corrosive would probably fit as enhancement better.
