Sorry if this is answered already somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.
If an incorporeal creature has a vulnerability to a type of energy, does it take 50% more damage from that? Or does 'incorporeal' also apply and reduce that 50% down to 25%?
"An incorporeal creature doesn’t have a physical body. It is immune to all nonmagical kinetic attacks. All energy attacks and magical kinetic attacks deal half damage (50%) to it. An incorporeal creature takes full damage from other incorporeal creatures and effects, as well as from all force effects. Corporeal spells and effects that do not cause damage have only a 50% chance of affecting an incorporeal creature. An incorporeal creature is immune to critical hits."
But
"The creature takes half again as much damage (+50%) when it takes damage of a specific type. Creatures with a vulnerability to an effect that doesn’t deal damage instead take a –4 penalty to saves against spells and effects that cause or use the listed vulnerability (such as enchantments). Some creatures might suffer additional effects, as noted in their stat blocks."
EXAMPLE:
A psychic abomination (incorporeal with vulnerability to electricity and fire) gets shot by a white star plasma caster for 27 points of electricity and fire. Should the final damage be 40 or 33?
Does 'vulnerability' override 'incorporeal', or are they calculated together?
