====== Internal Damage ======

**Internal Damage** is a special sort of [[Protection|Armor-Negating]] Damage that hits a poor fellow from the inside out. It is extra tough to prevent; [[Elemental Resistance|Elemental Resistances]] that line up can reduce the damage, but that's about it. ??Mossbody?? and ??Mistform?? don't reduce the damage, for example.

The following deal "internal" damage:

  * Being grilled from the inside by ??Incinerate??
  * Extreme pneumonia caused by ??Sailors' Death??
  * Getting your blood boiled by ??Blood Boil??
  * Having your heart frozen by ??Frozen Heart??
  * Having some of your blood replaced with [[poison damage|Poison]] by ??Blood Poisoning?? or ??Venomous Death??
  * Getting overloaded by ??Stream of Life?? and exploding ("instakill")
  * Getting transmuted into dust by ??Disintegrate?? ("instakill")

Note that the things Internal Damage bypasses are generally not strong enough to prevent an "instakill" from instantly killing, even with [[Luck]].

Set damage that doesn't get a [[DRN]] roll to increase or decrease it, also known as "**true**" damage, is also internal.
