Damage type for drowning


Rules Discussion


Failing the Fortitude save causes you to take damage, starting at "1d10 damage" and increasing with every such save you make. Does this damage not have a type? Can that happen?


I'm not sure that it is supposed to be possible to take untyped damage, but I am also not sure what damage type to give it. I wouldn't want to give it a damage type that could be resisted.

So I would probably just leave it at untyped damage.

I think there are a few spells that do damage transfer that also list that they don't cause typed damage, just reduce HP by a specified amount. Spirit Link and Shield Other are the ones that come to mind immediately.

disintegrate is untype damage


Apparently untyped damage is intended to actually exist. *shrugs*
