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 a type of damage, much like slashing or force. The only creatures that can use this must meet one of the following prerequisites:
- They must be aquatic or aquatic-based (i.e. a waterdrake).
- They have some sort of weapon or item which deals water damage.
Some water-themed attacks use bludgeon damage instead of water damage. However, water damage can be useful in cases such as:
- Throwing a book into the ocean.
- Damaging fire-based creatures.
- Creating certain elemental creatures.
Water Damage Variant[edit]
Simply treat water damage as you would bludgeoning damage in all cases, except creatures made out of fire or magma have vulnerability to water damage.
