-Physical damage in Dominions 5 come in three different types: slashing, piercing, and blunt. Each type has different effects when calculating damage. These are all calculated after the Damage vs. Protection calculation above, except for Piercing weapons which reduce Protection prior to the calculation.+Physical damage in Dominions 5 come in four different types: slashing, piercing, and blunt, as well as untyped. Each type has different effects when calculating damage. These are all calculated after the Damage vs. Protection calculation above, except for Piercing weapons which reduce Protection prior to the calculation.
  
 +<WRAP box round center 800px>==== Physical damage types ====
   * **Blunt** damage does 50% more damage when scoring head hits after the Protection value is deducted. They score 25% more damage toward shield destruction.   * **Blunt** damage does 50% more damage when scoring head hits after the Protection value is deducted. They score 25% more damage toward shield destruction.
   * **Slashing** damage does 25% more damage after Protection is deducted. They do 50% more damage toward shield destruction. If a slashing weapon scores a leg, arm, or head hit that costs a target greater than or equal to 50% of its hit points, that body part will be chopped off. If a head is chopped off, this will kill the target if it had a head that was required for it to stay alive. (For example, a hydra does not fit that description.)   * **Slashing** damage does 25% more damage after Protection is deducted. They do 50% more damage toward shield destruction. If a slashing weapon scores a leg, arm, or head hit that costs a target greater than or equal to 50% of its hit points, that body part will be chopped off. If a head is chopped off, this will kill the target if it had a head that was required for it to stay alive. (For example, a hydra does not fit that description.)
   * **Piercing** damage reduces Protection by 20% prior to any calculation. This is the same mechanic as the Armor-Piercing ability, except that Armor-Piercing reduces Protection by 50%. This is multiplicative, so an piercing Armor-Piercing attack, will reduce Protection by 60% prior to calculations.   * **Piercing** damage reduces Protection by 20% prior to any calculation.
