What damage type idoes low blow/aimed shot deal?

[Bobonga]

The smuggler skills low blow and aimed shot deal extra damage based on level and intelligence. Take advantage adds more damage per level.

But what damage type do they deal? I assume that it depends on your weapon.

If your weapon:

-Deals pure Kinetic damage, the skills add pure kinetic damage.

-Deals pure elemental dmg like burn or electric, the skills add pure burn/electric etc. damage.

-Deals a mix of different damage types, the skills bonus damage is in the same proportions as the weapons split.*

-Lust damage of weapons isn't affected, else it would be broken beyond infinity.

* Example: Your weapon does 20 damage total with a 50/50 split of electric and kinetic. So, 10 electric and 10 kinetic. Aimed shot with take advantage would add 60 damage in total. This means you get 30 kinetic and 30 electric damage. A 50/50 split.

Low Blow deals pure Kinetic damage:

• Base of half your Physique
• Add another half if the target's crotch is exposed and they have a cock and/or balls
• Add full Physique if the target's balls are at least 7" in diameter (which corresponds to a ball size of almost exactly 22)

Fun fact: if used against Kaska or Schora, it's guaranteed to stun, and will last one turn longer than usual (3-4 as opposed to 2-3). Also, it will never stun robotic enemies if they lack genitals (robotic enemies with genitals have the usual chance to get stunned).

Aimed Shot deals extra damage, split equally between all physical damage types the weapon deals. The bonus damage is:

• Base of thrice your level plus half your Bimbo Intelligence
• Add twice your level with Take Advantage
• Add your level if the target is both stunned and blinded

First of, thank you for your reply. You helped me alot.

Low Blow

I made an oopsie. I meant sneak attack.

Aimed Shot deals extra damage, split equally between all physical damage types the weapon deals.

What does equally here mean? Equal to the dmg proportion like in my example? Or equally as 50/50 with 2 dmg types, 33/33/33 with 3 dmg types etc.

Example: The Ice cappers deal 5 kinetic and 26 freezing damage. So 2 diffenrent dmg types with a 16/84 split. Would aimed shot then deal a split of 50/50 kinetic and freezing dmg? Or a split of 16% kinetic dmg and 84% freezing dmg. Like the ice cappers own split.

I suppose the same is true for sneak attack?

Add your level if the target is both stunned and blinded

Huh, thats quite intresting.

Sneak Attack uses the exact same mechanics as Aimed Shot, just with melee instead of ranged - same calculations for the bonus damage, and same split between damage types.

What does equally here mean? Equal to the dmg proportion like in my example? Or equally as 50/50 with 2 dmg types, 33/33/33 with 3 dmg types etc.

Example: The Ice cappers deal 5 kinetic and 26 freezing damage. So 2 diffenrent dmg types with a 16/84 split. Would aimed shot then deal a split of 50/50 kinetic and freezing dmg? Or a split of 16% kinetic dmg and 84% freezing dmg. Like the ice cappers own split.

The bonus damage is divided by the number of physical damage types present on the weapon, then added to each of them; so, 50/50 with two, 33/33/33 with three, etc..

Huh, thats quite intresting.

If I were to guess, I'd say that was added to make it so there's a benefit to fulfilling both conditions to activate the perk instead of just one.
