Astral Weapon

[quantum_mechani]

A couple of questions:

- Does astral weapon bypass etherealness?

- Does it effect trampling?

IIRC, the main advantage of Astral Weapon is Armour Negating, i.e. the damage is dealt directly to the target, bypassing the Protection value of target.

As for Etheralness, I believe Astral Weapons are no more effective against them as other conventional weapons, i.e. still have same chances of missing.

Lastly, what do you mean by trampling? You mean if a creature with astral weapon and trampling ability, does it do armour negating trampling damage? Not sure on this, but other more experienced player can fill you in on this.

Actually, I think trampling is armour negating, so the main question if it would help trampling bypass etherealness.

Astral weapon doesn't affect Trampling.

Trample is armor-piercing. And I would expect Astral Weapon to bypass ethereality.

Astral Weapon does not seem to affect all weapons, though. Maybe it only affects handheld ones (not Gore, Kick, Hoof, Stone Bird, Owl, Bows, etc.)

I too would expect astral weapon to overcome etherealness, like all magic weapons.
