| Damtypes
Different words are used to describe different types of damage. The most common 
types are those that your three main ARMOR CLASS types are protecting you 
against:  pierce, bash, and slash.
 
The other types of damage occur under the 'magic' ARMOR CLASS category.

*** NOTE:  These damtypes describe the damage type of WEAPONS you find. The
damage types for STANCES are specific to the stance itself. e.g. a stinging
weapon does pierce damage, but the sting of scorpion stance will do poison 
damage as it is listed in the helpfile for the stance.
