Damage Template

This is used for weapon alignment/elemental/fore damage enhancements like 'Good', 'Holy', 'Acid', 'Icy Burst' or 'Force' to be used as a Mouse over effect in Weapon descriptions

How to use it

{{Dmg|1=type|2=level}}

Where

• 1= is the type of save. Possible choices are : Acid, Cold (Ice), Fire, Elec (Lightning), Sonic(Thunder), Good, Evil, Law, Chaos, Force, Pos (Positive), Neg (Negative)
• 2= is the level applied. Possible choices are : 0=Touch, 1=(regular), 2=Blast, 3=Burst

Example

• {{Dmg|Fire|0}} --> Fire TouchFire Touch: This weapon give off a faint aura of warmth. A fire touch weapon deals an additional +1 point of fire damage on a successful hit.
• {{Dmg|Elec|1}} -->
• {{Dmg|Acid|2}} --> Acid BlastAcid Blast: An acid blast weapon is sheathed in corrosive acid. Critical hits with this weapon deal an additional 1 to 10 acid damage for weapons with a x2 critical multiplier, 2 to 20 for a x3 critical multiplier and 3 to 30 for a x4 multiplier. Additionally, if you roll a 20 when attacking and confirm the critical hit, the weapon blasts your target, doing an additional 4 to 24 more acid damage.
• {{Dmg|Cold|3}} -->

Competence bonus to damage

Perhaps we could add this as well, for stuff like Bold Trinket, Marksmanship, Fatesinger's Tailwind, Guild Airships Hobgoblin buff. --Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 07:55, July 9, 2012 (EDT)

I don't understand what you think this template does... It doesn't specify the class of damage (competence, enhancement, psionic, etc...), just the type of damage (fire, ice, acid, electric, pos, neg, etc...), per the (pre-u14, if they changed) item descriptions. -- ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 10:17, July 9, 2012 (EDT)

me not understanding, that's quite possible! :) --Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 13:27, July 9, 2012 (EDT)

So, does this template still need Category:Item description templates in need of a complete overhaul? -- ShoeMaker (Contributions • Message) 22:39, July 9, 2012 (EDT)

Suggestion Template

This is used for weapon alignment/elemental/fore damage enhancements like 'Good', 'Holy', 'Acid', 'Icy Burst' or 'Force' to be used as a Mouse over effect in Weapon descriptions

How to use it

{{Dmg|1=type|2=level|3=degree}}

Where

• 1= is the type of damage. Possible choices are : Acid, Cold (Ice), Fire, Elec (Lightning), Sonic(Thunder), Good, Evil, Law, Chaos, Force, Pos (Positive), Neg (Negative), Holy, Unholy, Axiomatic, Anarchaic.
• 2= is the level applied. Possible choices are : 0=Touch, 1=Minor 2=(regular), 3=Burst, 4=Blast
• 3= Degree of the level (rare circumstances). Possible choices are : 0=(Regular), 1=Greater/Absolute/(special name), 2=Supreme/(other nonintroduced names)

Example

{{dmg|Holy|3}} = Holy 3Holy 3: On Hit: 3 to 12 Good damage. Good-aligned creatures are immune to this effect.
Penalty: If equipped by a Evil user, they receive 1 Negative Level for as long as this item is equipped. (Holy Burst)

{{dmg|Good|2|2}} = Good BlastGood Blast: A good blast weapon is infused with the power of good. Critical hits with this weapon to targets of non-good alignment deal an extra 3 to 18 good damage for weapons with a x2 critical multiplier, 4 to 24 for a x3 multiplier, and 5 to 30 for a x4 multiplier. Additionally, if you roll a 20 when attacking and confirm the critical hit, the weapon blasts your target, doing 4 to 24 more good damage to any enemy of non-good alignment. (Supreme Good)

{{dmg|Acid|4|0}} = Acid 4Acid 4: On Hit: 4 to 16 Acid damage. (Acid Blast)

{{dmg|Chaos|2|1}} = (Absolute Chaos)

{{dmg|Cold|3|2}} = (Supreme Icy Burst)

UPDATE: Some of the degrees are in effect already with elemental damage, so this template should be updated ASAP.

Thinking about coupling Bleed into this template as well, though it may be better coded as a different template.

{{dmg|Cold|2|1}} = Boreal (2d6 Frost damage)

{{dmg|Force|2|1}} = Impellent (2d6 Force damage)

{{dmg|Light|2|1}} = Coruscating (2d6 Light damage)

{{dmg|Acid|2|1}} = Caustic (2d6 Acid damage)

{{dmg|Elec|2|1}} = Voltaic (2d6 Shock damage)

{{dmg|Sonic|2|1}} = Shrieking (2d6 Sonic damage)

{{dmg|Fire|2|1}} = Blazing (2d6 Fire damage)

Others exist, but this is what I found in recent play since U15. Further reason to update the template.

Several edits made in working towards this change, however I need fresh eyes to review it. Since nobody is on now, I have manually reverted the previous edits I have done, pulling the page at its previous state back to the front, with the edits I have done behind it, so they are still accessable. Please review the changes and provide feedback on either talk page.

Changes in Template

• Minor *element* added as a damage affect. Mainly to include Minor Flaming on Min's Handwraps
• Holy and Good split appropriately; Greater Good and Holy do the same damage but Greater Good hits more targets and has more requirements. Same with Law and Axiomatic, Chaos and Anarchaic, and Evil and Unholy.
• Creative license taken to come up with wording for elements that do not exist in game but must be included for completion purposes.
• Adding a third descriptor which must be filled out to accomodate new damage effects incorporated in-game. Things such as Blazing are now able to be covered in the template.
• Template:Bleed is entirely useless now, as it has been incorporated into Template:Dmg.
• Other things I'm sure I forgot to mention, however, were done to enhance the template and provide for expansiveness for future usage. Yes, it's a 10k plus character edit. But it has to be done.

Mega template proposal

Habreno's latest modifications gave me an idea about a template that a) includes all damage enchantments and b) for which the value for the second switch will be unique for each damage enchantment. A very user friendly template (more about this below) which will handle over 100 damage enchantments.

These are the types of damage that exist in the game and that can be included in the template:

• elemental/energy damage
  • acid
  • cold
  • electricity
  • elemental
  • fire
  • force
  • light
  • negative
  • sonic

• alignment damage
  • antipodal
  • chaotic
  • evil
  • good
  • lawful

• miscellaneous damage
  • bleed
  • bludgeon
  • corrosive
  • disintegration
  • entropic
  • fracturing
  • maiming
  • piercing
  • poison
  • slicing
  • steam
  • tidal
  • vicious

3 templates can be made (Dmg1, Dmg2 and Dmg3 or whatever) instead of one if the template gets too inflated for having to contain too many dmg types.

Example for light, electricity and sonic dmg enchantments

Assign 20 numbers for each dmg type:

• 1 - 20 for light
• 21 - 40 for electricity
• 41 - 60 for sonic

Some of these numbers will remain unused but it's best to plan ahead and reserve them for when Turbine adds new dmg types.

Make a sortable table containing all dmg enchantments:

Switch 1	Switch 2	Damage	Template
Light	1	Brilliance	{{Dmg|Light|1}}
Sonic	41	Cacophony	{{Dmg|Sonic|41}}
Electricity	21	Cloudburst	{{Dmg|Elec|21}}
Electricity	22	Electric Storm	{{Dmg|Elec|22}}
Electricity	23	Electrifying	{{Dmg|Elec|23}}
Light	2	Godly Wrath	{{Dmg|Light|2}}
Electricity	24	Greater Shocking Blow	{{Dmg|Elec|24}}
Light	3	Greater Sunburst	{{Dmg|Light|3}}
Sonic	42	Improved Roaring	{{Dmg|Sonic|42}}
Light	4	Incandescence	{{Dmg|Light|4}}
Light	5	Light Bringer	{{Dmg|Light|5}}
Electricity	25	Lightning Strike	{{Dmg|Elec|25}}
Electricity	26	Lightning Strike Weapons	{{Dmg|Elec|26}}
Sonic	43	Peals of Thunder	{{Dmg|Sonic|43}}
Light	6	Radiance	{{Dmg|Light|6}}
Light	7	Radiant Blast	{{Dmg|Light|7}}
Sonic	44	Roaring	{{Dmg|Sonic|44}}
Sonic	45	Screaming	{{Dmg|Sonic|45}}
Electricity	27	Shock	{{Dmg|Elec|27}}
Electricity	28	Shocking Blast	{{Dmg|Elec|28}}
Electricity	29	Shocking Blow	{{Dmg|Elec|29}}
Electricity	30	Shocking Burst	{{Dmg|Elec|30}}
Electricity	31	Shocking Touch	{{Dmg|Elec|31}}
Sonic	46	Shrieking	{{Dmg|Sonic|46}}
Sonic	47	Shrieking Bolt	{{Dmg|Sonic|47}}
Light	8	Sun Burst	{{Dmg|Light|8}}
Sonic	48	Thundering	{{Dmg|Sonic|48}}
Electricity	32	Voltaic	{{Dmg|Elec|32}}

The table is sorted alphabetically by default by the 'Damage' column which makes searching, finding and copy/pasting the wanted template extremely easy.
Use the first two columns to see which numbers are not used whenever Turbine introduces a new type of damage and you want to add it to the template; otherwise don't pay attention to the first two columns.

I know which items have X or Y dmg enchantment so I can take it upon me to fix in a couple of days the damage done to the item pages if the old template is discarded and we go forward with this type of template. There is one problem though, someone else has to make or at least start working on the template, templates have a tendency to implode whenever I get too close to them. Building the template would be the hardest part but once that part is done maintaining and using it would be a piece of cake.

Yes something like that. But there are enchantments that don't follow a pattern and won't fit into any of your 1d4/1d6/2d6/3d6/blast/burst etc categories. That and the fact that the many level+degree permutations you are using can be confusing. I'm going to give it a go at making a Dmg template, maybe I can improve on the old template. by Mjoll (Contributions • Message) 03:31, August 23, 2012 (EDT)

Elemental area of effect

Two of the elemental on vorpal aoes have reflex save as correctly indicated in the description of the dmg template. However, fire and cold variant are Fort / Will save. The article Elemental area of effect has the correct saves, this template does not. Please someone fix. --Cru121 (Contributions • Message) 09:14, November 18, 2012 (EST)
