Physical damage is one of the five damage types. Most martial weapons deal physical damage. Physical damage from hits is mitigated by armour and other sources of physical damage reduction.
Physical damage over time is usually inflicted by bleeding or Corrupted Blood. Armour has no effect on damage over time.
Mechanics
Physical is the only damage type without a resistance; instead, it has a stat called physical damage reduction, to which armour contributes. Overwhelm directly ignores physical damage reduction similar to penetration, but cannot go below zero. Armour break, however, can go below zero.
Physical damage is the default damage type for attacks, and almost all martial weapons have base physical damage. Local physical damage modifiers and quality affect the physical damage of weapons.
Physical damage is 50% more likely to stun an enemy and causes 50% more Heavy Stun buildup than other damage types.
