Bludgeoning/piercing damage is a physical damage type caused by certain weapons that "smash" an opponent with a weighted and spiked end. This is a dual-damage type, which is affected by the lower of bludgeoning immunity and piercing immunity, and by the lower of bludgeoning resistance and piercing resistance. In contrast, an attack with a weapon of this damage type is affected by the higher of "AC vs. bludgeoning" and "AC vs. piercing". Examples of weapons that cause this type of damage include * morningstars.
