Wolfen Fenrison 12-11-05, 12:16 PM	any vulnerability to an energy type multiplies the damage by 50%
InfernalSlave 12-11-05, 12:23 PM	actually by 150%.
strenoth 12-11-05, 01:54 PM	Infernal has it right. Take the damage, multiply it by 1.5
Wolfen Fenrison 12-12-05, 09:14 AM	thats right my bad
savant_warlord13 12-12-05, 10:53 AM	no, you are right. it is a 50% increase. that makes a total of 150% of the damage a creature without the vulnerability would take
mvincent 12-12-05, 05:45 PM	no, you are right. it is a 50% increase. Re-read his post. He initially said "multiplies the damage by 50%", and recognized the mistake shortly there-after.

They do not list how special qualities and special attacks work under the descriptions of individual monsters. This is true whether it is improved grab, energy drain, vulnerability to cold, poison, or whatever. The back of the MM is an indispensible resource for understanding monster abilities. -Tony

In 3.5 as has been stated above they take 150% damage from cold regardless of whether thier save is successful or not.
