[ddo] this week

Thats the thing about skellies, any piercing or slashing weapons have to
over come the damage reduction of 5 before any damage is done...
So you have to have ranged weapons that either do some elemental damage
on top of normal and/or use undead bane arrows (rare enough, that it
might be worth keeping for later on in this current chain of quests).
I don't think they've brought in throwing hammers or slings which are
the only ranged blunt weapons I can think of off hand...
One thing you can do is get yourself a some sort of bow / crossbow and
get joe to create flaming arrows when ever we go into an instance...
cheap and practical but we're depending on the mage to be there then...
