Hello everyone! I know there are a lot of threads on Mystic Bolt already, but I don't recall seeing this specific topic. This question is also for a PFS Character, so hopefully there's not too much risk of variation.
If I use an Acid Mystic Bolt with the Corrosive Weapon property, are both d6s totaled before applying Energy Resistance? Same basic question applies to Fire Mystic Bolt with Flaming, Cold Mystic Bolt with Frost etc.
Corrosive states that it deals an "extra" 1d6 Acid damage. For the majority of weapons, that means it doesn't pierce Energy Resist 10 because most weapons deal Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing and the extra Acid damage is a maximum of 6. Mystic Bolt is a little unique in that it already deals elemental damage. For what it's worth, I believe extra damage from similar effects like Vicious, Holy, and Bane are totaled before applying DR.
Thank you very much! :)
How are you applying magic weapon abilities on a mystic bolt?
Ah in that case, if the elemental damage types are the same between the bolt and weapon ability, stack together and compare with resistance. The damage is the same type and applied simultaneously so I don't believe would suffer the usual [physical weapon damage] + [energy damage type] being applied separately for DR/energy resistance/hardness.
