Now that I look at it again, the thread title is a bit unclear.This is true in 3E, but not in 4E because of the change in the vulnerability rules.In 3E, certain damage types can do +50% or +100% damage (double damage) to vulnerable creatures. Using your example of a creature that's very weak to fire (+100% in 3E) and somewhat weak to lightning (+50% in 3E), it would make sense to hit it only with fire.3E example: Monster has +100% fire vulnerability and +50% lightning vulnerability. A 20 point fire attack deals +20 damage, but a 10 point fire and 10 point lightning attack deals only +15 damage.However, in 4E, the extra vulnerability damage is dealt if the target takes even 1 point of the damage that it's vulnerable to. Assuming that we accept the information given by Wizards Customer Service (in the post above), a single attack can indeed hit multiple vulnerabilities, so it makes sense to hit multiple vulnerabilities with a single attack.4E example: Monster has fire vulnerability 10 and lightning vulnerability 5. A 20 point fire attack deals +10 damage, but a 10 point fire and 10 point lightning attack deals +15 damage.</blockquote>
