MODERATOR: Moved to house of healing as this appears to be a support issue.

Just ran across this in a session:

[DAMAGE (M)] Zelda [TYPE: slashing (1d6-1=0)] [MIN DAMAGE] 1-1=0

It looks as though FG recognized minimum damage but it looks like it didn't apply 1 point of nonlethal to the target. How is FG actually handling minimum damage?

Pathfinder handbook
Minimum Damage: If penalties reduce the damage result to less than 1, a hit still deals 1 point of nonlethal damage.

This was seen running v3.05 in a Pathfinder ruleset.

Yeah, this is an issue for both 3.5E and Pathfinder, which have differing behaviors between them as well. Also, it's unclear what damage type to use for the minimum damage when multiple damage types defined in an effect. Luckily, this comes up rarely.

I'll put this on the list to address for a future update.

Thanks,
