Weapon Damage

• Which kind of attack you make with the weapon, each corresponding to the five types of physical damage; Slashing, Cleaving, Piercing, Splitting, Bludgeoning. Cleaving and Splitting are combinations of the other damage types.
• Your modifier for Dexterity or Strength, depending on which kind of attack you make.
