Damage represents the amount of harm your [[Weapons]] and [[Skills]] deal to your enemies. Direct damage is dealt directly to an enemy's HP, this is always visible in the [[Combat Log]].
#REDIRECT[[Damage Types]]
 
 
=== Melee & Ranged Damage ===
Melee & Ranged Damage is dependent on your equipped weapon's base damage and your damage stats: [[Weapon Damage]], [[Main Hand Damage]], [[Off-Hand Damage]] and [[Crit Efficiency]]. [[Strength]] increases your Weapon Damage only in Hand to Hand combat and [[Perception]] increases your Weapon Damage when shooting Bows and Crossbows. Finally, both active and passive abilities can also increase your damage, like [[Blade Maintenance]].
 
 
=== Elemental & Magic Damage ===
Abilities from the sorcery trees (for example [[Pyromancy (skill tree)|Pyromancy]]) and some abilities that aren't sorceries (for example [[War Cry]]) do not rely on your equipped weapon. Instead, they always have their damage listed in the ability itself. Damage of these abilities and any Magic or Nature damage on weapons (like [[Wizard Staff]]) is increased by your [[Magic Power]] and your [[Crit Efficiency]]. In case of sorceries, damage is also increased by the respective sorcery power (for example, [[Pyromantic Power]]).
 
 
=== Damage Types ===
The damage types are as follows:
 
 
{| border="1px solid" style="text-align: center; width: 75%; margin: auto;"
! rowspan="2" |
! colspan="4" | Physical

|}
 
 
* Physical damage can be reduced by using items with [[Protection]].
* Physical, Magical and Nature damage types can be further reduced by having the appropriate '''Resistances'''. For example, if you equip items with Physical Resistance %, it will work against all these damage types: Slashing, Crushing, Piercing and Rending.
See [[Combat#Defending]] for more in-depth explanation.
 
{{Quote|Rending damage represents damage done by claws, fangs, teeth etc. It's mostly dealt by animals and other beast-like enemies.|Wayfinder (game developer)|[https://steamcommunity.com/app/625960/discussions/0/2261314050771915174/ Steam discussions]}}
 
=== Damage over Time effects ===
Damage over time effects (DoTs) are a group of [[Conditions]] ({{c|Physical|Bleeding}}, {{c|Fire|Burning}}, {{c|Poison|Poisoned}}, ..) that deal damage every turn until removed. DoTs usually last only for a few turns and might dissipate on their own. Known DoT effects:
 
* Using Physical attacks can inflict [[Bleeding]] depending on your [[Bleed Chance]] stat. Attacking targets with [[Injuries]] can also cause Bleeding, regardless of your Bleed Chance.
* Pyromancies and stepping into burning tiles can ignite both enemies and yourself.
* Getting hit by the [[Forest Viper|Forest Snake]] or eating the [[Death Cap]] will make you [[Poisoning|Poisoned]].
 
 
 
=== Other Damage Types ===
A special type of damage is Returned damage. Returned damage has no damage type and ignores Protection (need confirmation!). Returned damage is only dealt to you when you hit a target that has the [[Damage Reflection]] attribute.
 
Another type of damage is [[Bodypart Damage]]. It represents the damage you deal to a given bodypart of an enemy when you hit them with any attack. Bodypart Damage isn't visible in the Combat Log, but when you deal enough Bodypart Damage to an arm, leg, torso or the head, the target receives an [[Injuries|Injury]] for the specific bodypart. Receiving an injury is visible in the Combat Log. Injuries do not deal direct damage to enemy HP, but instead reduce their combat effectiveness. Further damage dealt to an injured bodypart can cause [[Bleeding]], which makes Bodypart Damage a very powerful attribute.
