'vuln resist details'
Sender Bobble Date Mon Jul 28 14:30:54 2014 Stamp 1406583321 Expire 1410471066 To Allkohl all Subject vuln with resist Specific vuln/resist (like pierce and holy) beat general vuln/resist (magic weapon), so rakshasas are vulnerable to pierce and holy and resistant to everything else. No middle ground here. If you attack with a weapon that deal 50% damage of one type and 50% of another, each damage is adjusted according to vulns/resists independently. Say you attack a Rakshasa with a flaming dagger, and would normally deal 200 damage. Then this damage would be adjusted to 133 piercing + 75 fire = 208 damage total.

A generic is completely overriden by an opposing specific. What about gimps, where you have both magic and weapon vulnerabilities. Is it any more than 133% damage taken from any/all sources? I don't suppose it would ever be any less.

So vuln weapon and vuln magic can never both apply at the same time. It also means that a spell dealing bash damage (e.g. unearth) is unaffected by resist/vuln magic, while exotic weapons or unarmed attacks with fire/cold/.. damtype are unaffected by resist/vuln weapon.
