Damtypes
Different words are used to describe different types of damage. The most common
types are those that your three main ARMOR CLASS types are protecting you
against: pierce, bash, and slash.

weapon does pierce damage, but the sting of scorpion stance will do poison
damage as it is listed in the helpfile for the stance.
