Title: Energy Aura
Post by: Tarislar on <11-17-14/1615:58>

Question:

Does Energy Aura (CRB Pg.396) change Melee damage from Stun to Physical ?

As I read through the description I'm not seeing where it would.

It increases it & add the elemental type but I'm not seeing where it goes from S to P.

I'm thinking it could be similar to Shock Gloves & Stick-n-Shock rounds that do S+e Damage.

Thoughts?

I would think it would depend largely on the element.  Looking over pg. 170 again I would say Acid / Fire would be Physical and Cold/Electricity would be Stun.  The exception of course being electricity and vehicle/drones.

It says Cold is always Physical though ...

Electricity is also Physical as mana-based damage type.

Adjust as you see fit. I would suggest to make it entirely physical.
