[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 2627968, member: 111"] Precisely so. This stretches things pretty far. What about wounding? "A wounding weapon deals 1 point of Constitution damage from blood loss when it hits a creature" Blood loss is most certainly a form of damage, but if it was non-lethal than how could it cause constituion loss? Furthermore, a Con of 0 kills you, but how can Con damage be non-lethal? At least , how without making up a new rule that does not exist. I'm sure there are other examples of how this does not work. So I think Merciful does NOT apply to other magical enhacements such as flaming, etc. If you say it only does not apply to Con Damage, then you've made a distiction that the weapon property itself does not make. My way seems the easiest and most straightforward to handle this. [/QUOTE]
