Versatile weapons and weapon property runes.

[CrisprCass9]

2 main questions: if I have, say, a clan dagger (p vers b), does it count as a “bludgeoning weapon” for things like the crushing rune? Conversely something like the switchpick (b vers p) clearly would be bludgeoning, but does a weapon’s “being a damage type weapon” depend on its primary damage type or all of its damage types?

Second question: if I have a switchpick (b vers p) and use the piercing damage, do I still get the effect of crushing? The description of the rune doesn’t mention being based on dealing bludgeoning damage, just being applied on a bludgeoning weapon.

Also this is all based on descriptions from AoN, I haven’t looked if they updated this for PC2.

I would say you can add the crushing rune, but use it only when you deal bludgeoning damage.

Similar thread here to see how several people have proposed handling this.

So long story short I could put PS runes on it but not B runes, and the PS runes apply to either damage type RAW? Cool.

I think the more important takeaway from the conversation is that there are multiple viable and good ways of running the game mechanics in this case - so you will need to check with your particular table on which one is going to be used there before you build your character or buy new equipment.

Citing me as an authority on a debated ruling is not recommended.
