Damage type of animal natural attacks


Rules Questions

Sovereign Court

In the case when an animal companion or wildshaped druid attacks a creature that has Damage Reduction that can be overcome by slashing, blunt or piercing weapons (like a skeleton or zombie), I'm wondering how the animal's attacks should be classified.

For example, for a bear, I guess the bite would do piercing damage?
But would the claws do blunt damage? Slashing? Or piercing? I could see it doing a combination of all 3.

Does anyone know of a place where that information is available?

Here you go.


The damage types for natural attacks is in a table 3-1 in the beastiary p 302.
