Todos os ataques causam no mínimo um ponto de dano , independentemente das penalidades por dano. Portanto, o veneno ainda afetaria potencialmente o alvo.
If penalties reduce the damage result to less than 1, a hit still deals 1 point of damage.
Note que no Pathfinder a regra é um pouco diferente -
If penalties reduce the damage result to less than 1, a hit still deals 1 point of nonlethal damage.
Se você receber zero dano de um ataque devido a Redução de dano , no entanto, muitos efeitos especiais são também evitado.
Whenever damage reduction completely negates the damage from an attack, it also negates most special effects that accompany the attack, such as injury type poison, a monk’s stunning, and injury type disease. Damage reduction does not negate touch attacks, energy damage dealt along with an attack, or energy drains. Nor does it affect poisons or diseases delivered by inhalation, ingestion, or contact.
Isso é idêntico no Pathfinder.
