Damage Types
Page 276: After the first two paragraphs in the
Damage Types section, add the following paragraph.
This change reflects revisions in Player’s Handbook 3.
It clarifies what happens to keywords when a power’s
damage type is changed.
If the damage types in a power change, the power
both loses the keywords for any damage types that
are removed and gains the keywords for any damage
types that are added (the poison keyword is removed
from a power only if that power neither deals poison
damage nor has any nondamaging effects). For
example, if a wizard casts ray of frost through a flaming
staff and uses the staff ’s ability to change the
damage to fire, ray of frost gains the fire keyword and
loses the cold keyword for that use, since the power is
dealing fire damage instead of cold damage. That use
of the power can therefore benefit from effects, like
feats, that affect fire powers, but not from effects that
affect cold powers.”
