Do vulnerabilities of different types stack?
The rule above only goes into vulnerabilities of the same type not stacking.
Ex:
A monster is vulnerable to 5 Fire and 10 Acid.
If an attack does 10 Fire and Acid, do they take an extra 10hp (non-stacking) or 15hp (stacking)?
If the attack was only acid, they'd take +10.
If the attack was only fire, they'd take +5.
Any benefit for attacking with both acid and fire?
- Vulnerable:
Vulnerable
A creature that is vulnerable to a specified damage type usually takes a specific amount of extra damage when it takes damage of that type, or it suffers a specific effect. For example, a creature that has vulnerable 10 radiant takes 10 extra radiant damage when an attack deals radiant damage to it or when it takes ongoing radiant damage.
Against Combined Damage Types: Vulnerability to a specific damage type applies even when that damage type is combined with another. For example, if you have vulnerable 5 fire, you take 5 extra damage when you take ongoing fire and radiant damage.
Not Cumulative: Vulnerabilities to the same damage type are not cumulative. Only the highest vulnerability applies. For example, if you have vulnerable 5 psychic and then gain vulnerable 10 psychic, you have vulnerable 10 psychic, not vulnerable 15 psychic.
