Water Damage (5e Variant Rule)
From D&D Wiki
Water Damage[edit]
Put simply, water damage is damage dealt though certain water-themed attacks. It is an additional kind of damage, much like how bludgeoning damage can be magical or not - water damage is damage with fluid (i.e. not solid) water as a source, just as magical damage is damage with magic as a source. For improved linguistic flow, "aqueous" can be used as a synonym for "water".
Some examples of water damage:
- A book thrown into the ocean would take aqueous acid damage.
- A water elemental's slam would deal aqueous bludgeoning damage.
- A gallon of water tossed onto a fire elemental would deal aqueous cold damage.
