Damage Types (Action)

Heroic Action Role-Play

Damage comes in many varieties; the following types of damage exist in Action. Most ofthem work the same, but many special powers and defenses work differently against different types of damage.

Concussion

Mainly caused by falls and collisions, concussion damage is more dangerous the heavier you are. Thus, it is soaked using Rexlexes rather than Toughness.

Disruption

Disruption and heat that seeks to break down the structure of the target. Common causes include cold, fire, acid, and the corrupting influence of undead and other sources of negative energy.

Energy

An overdose of energy, causing the target to fuse internally and cease to work normally. Commonly caused by electricity, radiation, and an excess of chi energy.

Impact

Basic kinetic impact damage, caused by bullets, blades and other moving physical objects. This is without compare the most common type of damage, and is the standard by which the others are compared.

Psychic

This damage is mental; it inflicts fear and pain directly to the mind. Thus, it is soaked using Mind instead of Toughness. Most psychic damage is magical in some way.
