[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 1063766, member: 5834"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: re[/b] Fortification armor does not protect from the Con damage, sorry. Fortification armor gives a percentage chance to prevent critical hits, but even at 100% critical hit prevention doesn't indicate immunity. Con damage happens even if a crit is not scored. Fort armor doesn't help at all since it doesn't make you immune to critical hits. If even one point of damage bypasses DR, then the creature takes Con damage. that means that a Wounding weapon is more effective when you can't have every type of alignment weapon. Alot of creatures have much lower DR now then before, so landing a single point of damage past their DR is not that hard. Wounding affects every creature not immune to critical hits, whereas Holy only affects evil. Sonic energy has the fewest creatures with resistance to it. A wounding weapon is much, much better than most other energy types because many of the evil outsiders you fight are immune to all energy but sonic. I think I implied that already. The damage from con loss coupled with the damage from the hits is much more powerful than any energy enhancement. If they survive the battle. With the new wounding, and Greater Wounding which drains 2 points of Con for a +4 enhancement, a dual wielder or even a single weapon wielder is very powerful. I would gladly take Wounding or Greater Wounding over a great many enhancements because I would kill my opponent that much faster. Does not prevent Wounding damage by the rules. Even 100% is not immunity to crits. They are different abilities. [/QUOTE]
