#1 xetti Jun 06, 2009 23:31:24	if I hit a Skeleton for 30 damage, Note: the description type was radiant, then how much does it wind up taking. if a skeleton with 50 hps is stuck in a small room containing Staff of light +3 how much damage will this guy take per round. ps is what I'm asking about in the PH or DMG?

The Skeleton will take 30 radiant damage, plus however much radiant damage its Vulnerability says it does (if it says 'vulnerable: radiant 5, it will take 35 damage total. If it says 'vulnerable: radiant 10, it takes 40 total). Unless the Staff of Light is already dealing damage to the skeleton as a result of an attack or effect, the skeleton will take no damage. Vulnerability adds to attack damage.

A) Depends on the skeleton's vulnerability. It takes what you dealt plus whatever its vulnerability is. B) 3+vulnerability, assuming there's an active light spell on it.
