Magic (Elemental) Damage Types


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I am doing a bit of in depth research into all the different types of magical damage that can be done. I have looked through many different types of arcane wizards and magical attacks also from elementals and dragons. From this list below, is there any other type that your aware of; also are any of these redundant: like void and cold - can deal the same type of damage.
I have referred to the board regarding all damage types:

Lastly, is there an easy to read list of all magical damage types, not necessarily from the schools of magic compendium.

Acid,
Blood (bleeding)
Air,
Cold,
Earth,
Fire,
Force
Electricity,
Metal,
Necrotic,
Radiant,
Shadow (illusion),
Void,
Water,
Wood

Some of these are not in Pathfinder, but might be in other games. For instance, necrotic and radiant are not Pathfinder damage types, probably closest to negative and positive energy, respectively. Air, Earth, Metal, Void, Shadow, Water and Wood are keywords for spells, but not damage types, as far as I know.

necrotic and radiant damage are similar to positive and negative energy but they are only used to dmg and can still damage things that are normally healed by positive or negative energy and yes none of those are actual types of dmg except maybe void all the others are under other dmg types like bludgeoning, slashing, ect


Thank you, that has answered a lot of the issues I have been having, I was using the PFSRD site. I know it uses more than just pathfinder and that was probably what was confusing me.
