什麼是能量傷害？能量傷害是特殊的傷害類型，這種傷害類型通常由魔法造成。
所有能量傷害都無視傷害減免(DR)，只能由對應的能量抗力減免。
主要的能量傷害類型有強酸、寒冷、電擊、火焰、音波。
正能量、負能量與力場傷害類型也是能量傷害。
但是防護能量法術沒有###傷害類型！雖然能量是經常出現的詞語，但不同能力允許指定的能量類型都有些許差異。
Energy Types: Several of these new draconic bloodline options include nonstandard damage types. For the sake of game balance, many of the damage types available to the bloodlines below somewhat differ from those produced by the parent dragon. Specifically, force energy, negative energy, and sonic energy have been altered to different types of energy.
The caster picks a one of the following energy types: acid, cold, electricity, fire, sonic, or force
A kinetic blast that deals energy damage of any type (including force) has the corresponding descriptor.
Energy Spells and Effects: Crowds tend to respond to flashy spells and effects. If a combatant casts a spell or produces an effect that deals acid, cold, fire, electricity, force, or sonic damage in a visible way (including weapons with special abilities like flaming burst or shocking burst that deal bursts of energy damage on critical hits), she can make a performance combat check as a swift action.
另一部分，則有些能力缺少主要的能量類型：
Energy Bolt, Psionics Unleashed: 缺少強酸類型
Elemental Aura, Advanced Player’s Guide: 缺少音波類型
Energy Scientist, Elemental Master’s Handbook: 缺少音波類型
Expanded Fiendish Resistance (Tiefling), Advanced Race Guide: 缺少音波類型
Mythic Realms 的 Agmazar the Star Titan 甚至擁有負能量與力場的能量抗性。
Pathfinder 二版能量傷害被明確列表為：強酸、寒冷、電擊、火焰、音波、正能量、負能量與力場等八種傷害類型
說這麼多，到底能不能發元素魔法飛彈？如果你是玩家，請與地下城主討論關於規則上的模糊部分。
如果你是地下城主：
考慮到音波、正能量、負能量與力場都是較少被抵抗的傷害類型，將其轉換成更容易受到抵抗的元素傷害類型，並不會對遊戲平衡產生巨大的影響。
你可以放心地允許玩家這麼做，這也很酷。
