Incorporeal with Vulnerability


Rules Questions


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?


It takes 75% damage.


Thank you!
