Entity Damage

Overview
Entity Damage is a type of damage caused by attacks that physically damage an Entity such as a player, Zombie, or Animal, or the fresh corpse of one of these creatures.

All weapons (including unarmed combat using your Fists) have an Entity Damage stat that provides the base amount of damage applied when hitting an Entity. The Entity Damage stat of a weapon can be viewed by inspecting the item from the inventory panel or from the toolbelt while on the Character Menu or Crafting Menu screen.
