Right now we can see that eg.
But how does slashing damage actually work? Is it better against foes armoured in platemail/chain mail/splint mail, etc.?The axe can be wielded in the right hand. It can be used to slash.
My guess is that bludgeoning weapons are better against undead (at least this applies to undead in Palanthas). What about other weapons?
Some weapons deal different types of damage. Do armours in genesis offer better protection against different types of damage? If so, can we get some in-game information? If not, why do weapons deal different type of damage? Is it just a cosmetic discription and does not have any meaning combat wise?
