Blunt, slashing, piercing I think are the 3 types.
Blunt would be things like hand to hand, clubs, staves, and the few special weapons like bourdonasse that have the trait. Piercing would be bows/arrows, spears, daggers, etc. Last is slashing that would include swords, scythes, and axes. Theres actually a sea NM that randomly goes immune to 2/3 of these, so it helps to knwo what is what.

I have yet to find a good consise guide on which weapon has which statistic and which is good against what. Some things are just understood, such as monks being strong against bones/undead, but if anyone has seen a nice guide, a link would be much appreciated.

Not all Hand-to-Hand weapons are blunt. Cesti and Knuckles are blunt; Claws and Baghnakh are slashing; Katars and Patas are piercing. All the other weapons are different in the same way.

Wrong on so many levels -.-

all h2h are considered blunt. The only h2h weapon that presumably does not have the blunt characteristic is Vampiric Claws.
