Holy damage

General

 * Holy damage is a damage type caused by some monk and dervish skills.
 * A few monk and dervish skills convert weapon damage to holy damage.
 * There are no weapons that inherently cause holy damage. Monk Smiting Rods and Smiting Staves inflict light damage, which is functionally the same.
 * Skills causing holy damage ignore armor.
 * Weapons causing holy damage (as a result of damage type conversion due to skill effects) do not ignore armor.
 * Holy damage is neither physical nor elemental damage.
 * Nothing protects specifically against holy damage.
 * Holy damage deals double damage to undead creatures, such as minions.
 * The Necromancer's Tormentor's Armor and Necrotic Armor take additional damage from holy damage.
