Energy & Damage Types Table

[dropbear8mybaby]

There was a post here that I used to reference where someone collated and presented all the damage types from monsters in the MM. I can't find that thread now but would like to call on people here to help me out with something in relation to it. I'd like to get a final count of all the monsters who do not only energy damage but other damage types as well, including their immunities and resistances.

Mainly I want to make sure my own numbers are right before committing to a final version. I'm also adding in counts for spells as well to make a comprehensive table.

Here's the preliminary result:

I haven't got final totals for some of the damage types (b,p,s I'm looking at you) or the variable ones, as it's incredibly tedious and tiring to try to count through them all so I need to find the motivation to do it... or just ask other people to do it for me so that we can all benefit :D

And yes, there really are 20 spells that do bludgeoning damage.

Nice chart.

I've posted the link to the Guides thread:

I updated it for the amount of mundane (bludgeoning, piercing, slashing) damage types creatures do in the MM. This is a totally non-scientific, very quick and dirty, calculation so should absolutely NOT be relied upon as being accurate. I basically just did searches on terms. I really wish there was a better way but I so cannot be stuffed counting almost a thousand entries.

This makes the armour of vulnerability best to resist piercing for maximum nastiness. Piercing seems to be by far the most common damage type that creatures do, meaning that once the curse is removed, it will be a nice item, but while the curse is on, the majority of damage against the wearer is going to be doubled.
