Is there an extension or some other way to introduce new damage types into the 5th edition ruleset?
There is no current extension but there's advice on how you could do it here:

Don't do it :)
I would have to rewrite portions of Engineer Suite to support it!

Been looking at adding some modern elements into 5E myself and decided the simpliest way forward would be to name certain damage as other types. For instance Radiation could be another name for Necrotic and could even work like Poison, Laser damage could be Radiant for instance.
Not sure if this method would fit within your concept.
Those could very well fit. What would you consider plasma damage to be?
Plasma..... mmmmm Could be a mixture of electric/acid or electric/fire? You could do 1d6 of each damage type.
That way if you have immunity/resistance to one type you would still receive damage.
Since it is a 4th state of matter there isn't an equivalent; but probably fire (very, very, hot fire) would be the nearest.Quote:

They are about to come out with a new suppliment that I will also be converting so maybe I can get them to squeeze in some fonts there. Of course I have to actually learn the extension language. I admit my intimidation as XML seems so much easier to understand. I know that if I want to really provide a polished module I should include these extensions too.
