According to the Simu site, tridents do all three types of damage (crush, slash, puncture).
However ...
>glance
You glance down to see a four-tined white ora trident in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.
>cman prec test
You have not set a weapon precision preference with this weapon type.
This weapon may be used for puncture or slashing damage.
Apparently the info in the site document is an error. According to the Precision combat maneuver in-game, tridents only slash or puncture. I inspected my trident to make sure it was trident-based.
Oh, and by the way ... if it has four tines, wouldn't it be a quadrident?

Please use the "Comments about this page?" link at the bottom of the page in question to let the inhouse webstaff know that the trident documentation requires change. They don't crush. :)

Bah my reading errors, I thought you were saying that the trident was not doing puncture in game. Ignore me, Emeradan is right about documentation thing. Sheesh Jim slow down and read why dontcha!
Jim, obviously needs to drink JD like Emeradan instead of Port.

::chuckle:: I gave up on the HJ bbs, the mind set of those players was driving me nuts. I've decided that It's a loss, I'll try it thuogh but I think the those player coming from a straight graphical only background are going to be a total turn off to deal with. That's my opinion after just getting that tip of the iceberg of them. ::shudder::

I did the 'comments on this page' deal on the site. Thanks for pointing me there, FehMeister.
And yeah, I can see a trident crushing before I can see it slashing, but I just figured it was that way for balance issues or something. Either way, I love my trident.
