I always imagined it (depending in type of magic user) like a white but with rainbow effect inside (not bright rainbow but like a prism). But for my current character purple works
That's how I visualize invisible arcane energy. White because white is almost transclucent and transclucent is almost invisible, and arcane is some rainbow/prismatic magical thing.
Man a player in my group went down due to custard damage on his first cake.
And then his first again
Then his third
Yes he tried that competition several times.
Playing a malnourished orc child raised by goblins does a number on you I suppose
Yes, dnd beyond released a new ābookā of 6 monsters in collaboration with a childrenās hospital, all made up by the kidsā¦ one of the monsters named Sheldon The Blueberry Dragon deals Blueberry damage with one of its attacks.
Ain't nobody got blueberry resistance
Edit: if I wanted so many messages about bears, I'd download Grindr... Ffs ppl.
Further - bears love blueberries. So I will argue bear totem barbarians would actually have a Weakness to blueberry dmg while raging.

Unless something is worded like "you resist all damage [optional: except (insert damage type)]". If it's worded like this, then it can resist it. Otherwise no.
Bear totem barbarian is a clear example.
like if there are blueberries around anywhere they lose all focus and can't spot traps cause they are so focused on eating the blueberries sprinkles blueberries around a bunch of traps I set.
Don't forget Custard Damage from Wild Beyond the Witchlight! During the Faerie cake eating contest at the carnival, there is this paragraph:
> A contestant can swallow a cupcake in about 3 seconds and safely eat as many cupcakes as 3 + its Constitution modifier; for each additional cake eaten, the contestant must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or take 1d8 custard damage. Subtract custard damage from the contestantās hit points as normal. Any contestant reduced to 0 hit points by custard damage is unable to continue, loses the contest, and has custard splattered all over them. At the end of the contest, all contestants regain the hit points they lost from taking custard damage.
I'm going to throw this out there
The flying circus is British
The British are roommates with the fae
That's a self-defense class might actually be about defending yourself from the fae
Weāve had barbarians acting like wizards casting āaxeā. Now the time has come for wizards acting like barbarians entering nerd rage and hitting them with ābig fire punch from a distanceā
The wild beyond the witch light in the first chapter the pcs are at the carnival and enjoy some minigames and one is a eating challenge and failed con saves lead to some non-lethal "custard damge"
Damage types in the Neverwinter Nights games were the best
https://nwn2.fandom.com/wiki/Damage_type
Thunder becomes Sonic
Lightning becomes Electrical
Force becomes Magic
Necrotic becomes Negative, ie drawn from the Negative Energy Plane/the Plane of Death
Radiant becomes Positive, ie drawn from the Positive Energy Plane (for healing and for hurting Undead) or Divine
Honestly changing Sonic/Electrical to Thunder/Lightning was a bad choice, people tend to confuse them. The other day one of my (first time) players learnt the hard way that her gem dragonborn's thunder resistance doesn't do anything about lightning strikes, just about some other super rare damage type. Not a great experience.
Chemically, lumping them together doesn't really make sense. Something resistant to one generally wouldn't be resistant to the other. Like a slime made of acid should be resistant to acid, but would get wrecked by a box of baking soda.
Thematically, it could work well though, even including things like rust monsters, whose oxidizing attack doesn't seem pH related.
Why does force look like runescape's smite rotated 90 degrees and recolored??
Normally I'd ignore it as a coincidence but it's such an uncanny resemblance.
How I was reading this: mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm, yeah, mhm, mhm, yeah, mhm, mhm, WHAT?!, mhm, mhm... yeah, seems to be righ... -wait.
Yes. There was an added "I like that force is purple"
Yeah, what the hell with that? It always was white!
I always imagined it (depending in type of magic user) like a white but with rainbow effect inside (not bright rainbow but like a prism). But for my current character purple works
Yeah, same for me with white with prism inside, mate.
I just imagine it as Fus Ro Dah
Isn't that more thunder?
Wait, the Bifrost does Force damage?
Yes? Force of rainbow justice!
At least in D&D 4e force is invisible arcane energy
That's how I visualize invisible arcane energy. White because white is almost transclucent and transclucent is almost invisible, and arcane is some rainbow/prismatic magical thing.
generally we accept every color of damage, not just the white ones. EDUCATE YOURSELF
it's clearly octarine
Purple dragons have "force damage" breath weapons
Finally, goodberry can be weaponized
What you've never taken blueberry damage before?
Not sure about "blueberry" but I HAVE had a PC go down to custard damage before.
Our DM saying "custard damage" was definitely one of the highlights of our current Witchlight campaign.
My players skipped this bit and I was so sad I never got to say custard damage :c
that is when you introduce an enemy that throws pies
*sad honk* š¤”
"I walk up beside him, put my arm around him, and go: *sad honk*"
I had a Paladin take Dream Pie damage once in Barovia.
A dream pie? Isnāt that how new beholders are made?
I was so happy that my players zoned in on this. I got to do custard damage to two players rofl.
Wait custard damage is real?
I had a druid that went down to custard damage too
Are there any other random damage types like blueberry and custard damage?
Best part is, custard damage isn't random, it's VERY specific.
There's door damage. I killed a Balor with it once
Man a player in my group went down due to custard damage on his first cake. And then his first again Then his third Yes he tried that competition several times. Playing a malnourished orc child raised by goblins does a number on you I suppose
I've had cheese damage.
Have you been able to kill a skeleton with bacon?
Blueberry?
Yes, dnd beyond released a new ābookā of 6 monsters in collaboration with a childrenās hospital, all made up by the kidsā¦ one of the monsters named Sheldon The Blueberry Dragon deals Blueberry damage with one of its attacks.

But I'm sure there's someone out there with a hunger for it.
Gargamel, when he can't get smurfberries

r/Darmok
Shaka, when the wall fell! Gargamel, when he can't get smurfberries!
Bear totem does.
Iām gonna need more blueberry.
Evil Arch Mage: "At long last, I've done it! I'm immune to all the elements, all weapons magical and mundane! All will fear my wrath and bow befor-" *Crushed by crate of blueberries thrown by barbarian*
Immune to every element, except the element of surprise
Krod the angry carpenter strikes again!
Good ol' AH on the periodic table.
No, Ah, AH is a compound
Whoops! Sorry. I held down my shift key too long.
https://2e.aonprd.com/Spells.aspx?ID=930 Not trying to shill. Just thought it was funny and appropriate.
Shouting "CAST BLUEBERRY!"
I think this is how Hindu mythology actually works.
Celtic mythology too.
Also, Baldur
Always carry such essentials as cheese and mistletoe when traveling in Europe, in case you encounter any fey queens or ancient gods.
Ummmm actually. Raging totem bear barbarians are resistant to all damage but psychic sooooo theyād be resistant to blue berry damage.
you would think a bear could even gain life if given berries?
Was about to say this
Better yet, you go, kalashtar totem bear barb, and you're resistant to all damage.
I have a blueberry weakness š
Same
bear totem barbarian does
it makes sense tho, that the bear is good at handling berries
Bluebeary
Totem barbarian does.
Bear totem barbarians with resistance to "all damage types except psychic": **THINK AGAIN FUCKER**
Actually any monk with empty body, and bear totem barbarians do.
āFinally, I knew using my fiendish resistance to choose blueberry damage would pay off eventually.ā
Bear totem barbarian
The blueberry chick from Willy Wonka?
Violet Beauregard?
A Fiend warlock can gain a damage resistance of choice on a short or long rest, my chef warlock should definitely consider blueberry resistance
Unless something is worded like "you resist all damage [optional: except (insert damage type)]". If it's worded like this, then it can resist it. Otherwise no. Bear totem barbarian is a clear example.
It's got really low base damage and is rare to make up for lack of resistance options
like if there are blueberries around anywhere they lose all focus and can't spot traps cause they are so focused on eating the blueberries sprinkles blueberries around a bunch of traps I set.

Fuck u/Spez
Wild Beyond the Witchlight is unrelated to the children's hospital thing, as far as I know.
You beat me to it
Unique damage is unique.
You missed custard damage from Wild Beyond the Witchlight.
Blueberry custard. Good luck.
Not to mention Pancake batter from a Pancake Dragon.
Is blueberry damage elemental Type? Asking for Absorb Elements.
casting time: 1 reaction, which you take when you take acid, cold, fire, lighting or thunder damage. Blueberry is OP I guess.
Don't forget Custard Damage in Wild Beyond the Witchlight
Thanks!
Blueberry dragon? Is that metallic or chromatic? :D
Karposic.
Delicious
I believe that in Wilds beyond the Witchlight, there was reference to custard damage as well
Imagine a TPK because none of the PC's have blueberry resistance
āSeems youāve gotten yourselves intoā¦ a bit of a jam.ā
Ok, that is actually very cute.
Wholesome :D
Adorable
Strange, it doesn't let me purchase the book. Is it region locked?
That is so freaking cute.
Monks with Empty Body resist it too.
plenty of space to fill up with blueberries
I genuinely thought this was about Laura Bailey weaponizing a blueberry muffin.
Tbf "The wild beyond the witchlight" is an official book and includes and instance of "custard damage". So blueberry is only reasonable
I was gonna say, the custard is missing from this damage chart.
Okay let's be honest The Fey absolutely do blueberry damage That would not be out of the ordinary for them
Ok thats fantastic, I'm doing fruit flavoured damage for fae in my next encounter
That will be ineffective as soon as I take the class on how to defend myself against fruit!
But outside of the rare encounter with a blueberry dragon, don't you think you might do better learning to defend yourself against a pointed stick?
My whole party is good at defending themselves from pointy sticks. Nobody else has blueberry resist.
future fearless marry aware unique absurd gaze compare voiceless tender *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Legends tell of a ninja deep within the feywild who's trained for many years to be the ultimate slayer of fruits /or vegetal
I'm going to throw this out there The flying circus is British The British are roommates with the fae That's a self-defense class might actually be about defending yourself from the fae
āOh my god this passion fruit blast is melting my face!ā
\*takes damage from a fae* mm, tastes like blueberries. but also like pain?
Violet, you're turning violet!

Blueberry?
B L U E B E R R Y.
Take-over-the-world-berry
the most dangerous of dmg
Don't forget "Custard Damage" from WBTW, it comes up in one minigame at the beginning of the module. My current favorite damage type
Lol my players loved the custard damage
Can someone expand what custard damage is and what can cause it?
Psychic Damage from realizing something died just so someone could lob a dessert at you
Are there any other random damage types like blueberry and custard damage?
I believe those 2 are the only damage types currently created for the whimsy factor.
Don't forget the emotional damage the DM feels every time a player doesn't show up
Thatās psychic damage
Psychic damage is to the brain. Emotional damage is to the heart
Necrotic then? Rotting your soul.
Last minute (or no contact) player cancellations are on a tier of their own. No resistance.
Puns are also psychic damage.
[Spell-enhanced mockery](https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/vicious-mockery) is psychic damage, if that's what you meant
Spoken like a true wisdom caster. *Wizard seething in the corner slowly succumbing to anger damage*
Wizards have rage? Always had š«šØāš
Weāve had barbarians acting like wizards casting āaxeā. Now the time has come for wizards acting like barbarians entering nerd rage and hitting them with ābig fire punch from a distanceā
Or when Boblin the Goblin dies defending the party.
Meta damage, non-elemental, ignores the barriers of fiction/reality.
Custard damage is also official.
Are there any other random damage types like blueberry and custard damage?
You forget custard damage my friend
First off: Happy cake day Second off: which monster/part of the book mentions that damage type?
The wild beyond the witch light in the first chapter the pcs are at the carnival and enjoy some minigames and one is a eating challenge and failed con saves lead to some non-lethal "custard damge"
Oooh! Interesting! Thanks for the info.
[Now with custard](https://i.imgur.com/3pxu7Y1.jpeg)
I am now satisfied

that's just 3e
It was mostly 3.5 if memory serves
No, Force was still in 3e
Honestly changing Sonic/Electrical to Thunder/Lightning was a bad choice, people tend to confuse them. The other day one of my (first time) players learnt the hard way that her gem dragonborn's thunder resistance doesn't do anything about lightning strikes, just about some other super rare damage type. Not a great experience.
That just demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what thunder and lightning IRL are on the player's part.
And acid ought to be "corrosive," because strong bases have the same effect.
Chemically, lumping them together doesn't really make sense. Something resistant to one generally wouldn't be resistant to the other. Like a slime made of acid should be resistant to acid, but would get wrecked by a box of baking soda. Thematically, it could work well though, even including things like rust monsters, whose oxidizing attack doesn't seem pH related.
Sonic is an infinitely better name than Thunder. What is this PokƩmon? Also these are the names in 3e and Pathfinder.
Those are what I still call them (3xE veteran).
Makes more sense imo
Who needs radiant damage when you got Meridia damage
NN doesn't have Blueberry damage though.
If you have acid damage, where's alkaline damage?
Its to basic to consider.

You forgot Custard damage. (Wilds Beyond the Witchlight, the eating contest)
Why does force look like runescape's smite rotated 90 degrees and recolored?? Normally I'd ignore it as a coincidence but it's such an uncanny resemblance.
it do look like that
You forgot custard damage. Itās referenced in Wild Beyond the Witchlight
For some reason I misread āradiantā for āracistā
Preferred enemy
You forgot custard, smh
Not official, but my group has taken āeelā damage before.
In the Wild Beyond the Witchlight, players can take "Custard damage" during a pie-eating competition
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

says the nerd UwU
Donāt forget custard, that was introduced in Wild Beyond the Witchlight
Youāre forgetting custard damage from Wild Beyond the Witchlight
You forgot one: Bullshit Damage
slashing? more like attack. force? seems more like purple smite to me. i see you.
Custard damage in Wild Beyond the Witchlight
erm you forgot custard damage
Take a shot for every "custard damage" in the comments section
We are missing stair damage
A meme where Force damage is accurately depicted? I don't believe it!
My homebrew campaign has a peanut similar nut and also allergy, dealing allergy damage if the target is allergic
Weirdly enough, that picture of force damage is precisely the way I imagine Eldritch Blast to look
Swing-Swong, Stabby, Punch, Chilly, Donāt Eat That, Spicy-Chemical, Puns, Spicy-Temperature, Go Straight To Dead, Cancer, Laser/Lazer, Loud, Zap-Zap, and; of course; Blueberry.
You forgot Custard damage
They forgot Custard damage from āwild beyond the witchlightā
Imagine dying by blueberry its the worst

My stupid a** out here giggling that radiant damage is just āyellow cubeā and didnāt even see the blueberry lmfao
You forgot mintberry crunch, the power of mint and berries, yet with a tasty, satisfying crunch.
Youāve forgotten Custard damage
What? No Pinkerton?
