Template talk:KotOR/Damage

Ideally each damage type would have its own icon, but the game doesn't have these and at present only Dark Side and Light Side (KotORII only) are entirely separate (used mastery icons). Until such a time as other damage types have separate icons, the following convention applies:

🇨🇴


 * Physical (Bludgeoning, Piercing, Slashing)

🇨🇴


 * Non-physical (Cold, Fire, Sonic and Electrical, Energy, Ion)

🇨🇴

Reasoning that Force Barrier grants Damage Resistance vs physical damage types, and Energy Resistance grants it vs non-physical types (except Ion).

Since KotOR/NPC and KotORII/NPC combine Items and Abilities because items normally grant these abilities, to avoid confusion item icons shouldn't be used for Damage Immunity or Resistance. Using feat and Force power icons is a possibility, although I haven't found options for all damage types. It's possible there may be unused icons for damage types in the game files, otherwise the next best option might be uploading icons for armor upgrade items, since many of these grant Damage Immunity or Resistance but their icons aren't currently used:

Other armor upgrade item icons could be used for Electrical and Ion. Ideally Bludgeoning and Slashing need separate icons, but there are only two items granting them separately in KotOR, each unique (and used by just one enemy), and two sets of gloves granting Damage Immunity vs Slashing in KotORII (not used by enemies, at least in base game).
