I actually think I completely misunderstood how sanctification and holy/unholy works. Now that i have access to the monstercore i can see that I was being a complete idiot and thinking that *having* the holy/unholy trait means you have a weakness, rather than having an actual *weakness* to holy being listed in the statblock. Which is really bloody stupid thing to think now that i think about it...

In essence, I was asking the wrong question out of stupidity, so my apologies for that.

So my new question is this: Would a thaumaturge be able to exploit an actual listed weakness to holy/unholy that's in the statblock for a creature despite not being sanctified, since it is technically a weakness?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm glad I wasn't misunderstanding things. I will stick with my original ruling on this.

--edit, nope im an idiot.

So, I am a very new GM running a campaign that currently has some undead shenanigans going on. One of my players is a Thaumaturge and the question has come up regarding using mortal weakness against enemies that have no listed weaknesses on their statblock, but have the unholy trait attached to them. IE, like skeletons.

Can the Thaumaturge exploit the fact that the enemy is unholy despite not being sanctified and not having sanctified attacks using mortal weakness? I originally ruled to say no since it sounds like 2 separate systems at play, but i'm starting to wonder if that's the right call.

What is everyone's take on this?
