vicious weapons state it adds 2d6 damage of the weapons NORMAL damage type. Elemental cleaver lets you change the weapons damage type to acid fire etc etc.
Does the 2d6 from vicious deal the weapons base/normal damage type ie piercing bludgeoning slashing, or does it change to whatever the elemental cleaver changed the weapons damage type to. wow thats a sentence.
I'd assume that the 2d6 would be whatever damage type the weapon is currently doing.
This is how I would rule it also. The Elemental Cleaver feature is applied first and the text for that feature explicitly "changes" the damage type of the weapon.
Then, when an attack is made and hits, a Vicious Weapon deals extra damage that "is of the same type as the weapon's normal damage". At that moment, the weapon's normal damage is the damage that the weapon deals when it hits a creature with an attack which is whatever damage type is applied to the weapon itself. That type would be the type that was given by the Elemental Cleaver feature.

Hello hello,
question, straight forward:
vicious weapons state it adds 2d6 damage of the weapons NORMAL damage type.
Elemental cleaver lets you change the weapons damage type to acid fire etc etc.
Does the 2d6 from vicious deal the weapons base/normal damage type ie piercing bludgeoning slashing, or does it change to whatever the elemental cleaver changed the weapons damage type to. wow thats a sentence.
Thanks guys!
