This is mostly out of curiosity...

I notice that both Soulblighter and the Stygian Knights' obects have 0 in Kinetic Damage and something in the Slashing Damage, and yet both are immune to arrows but not Trow...even though the Trow Kick is 'kinetic' and arrows are 'slashing metal'. How do these objects work, exactly, (as their damage types do not seem to match up to the projectiles' damage types)?

Kinetic when used in the projectile damage catagory is just another type of slashing damage (like slashing metal, and slashing claws).

But when it comes to the object tag, kinetic means any attack that is either Slashing Metal, Slashing Claws or Kinetic that is not set as a melee attack, and so is a missile like arrows or ghol cleavers (well I assume with Ghol Cleavers).


So really when you look at the Kinetic bit in the object tag think non-explosive missile, rather than Kinetic the melee damage type.

I see. Thanks, that's helpful.
