Concussive damage comes from:
It uses the same injury sequence, but its identity is different:
Concussive is:
Armor helps somewhat against fragments or force spread, but not well against pressure waves.Typical armor damage:
Common concussive secondary effects
These are best used when the source is:
They should be applied instead of Electric where appropriate, or layered onto a hit source.

Electric damage is about:
It usually heals faster than blunt, cutting, crushing, or deep fire injury, unless the result is severe.
Electric damage is strongly affected by what the victim is wearing or touching.Protective materialsThese reduce severity:
Conductive materialsThese may worsen severity:
Suggested conductivity modifierBefore final severity:
This is better than baking every material into each table.
Electric usually deals:
Most electric effects attack the wearer more than the armor itself.Typical armor damage:
Common results include:
Bleeding is rare. Burns may occur at high severity.
