Well to do it right, here is how you should do it:


 * 1) Like Tueman mentions, whack it with both normal knife and thermoblade and see which one dies faster (or at all). Measure the time and try to be consistent in how often you hit; time taken would then be proportional to the dmg.


 * 1) Do the math and see if thermoblade's dmg is indeed 20 physical (surv. knife base dmg) + 20 heat (from thermo upgrade) or maybe it is all 40 heat dmg. In one case using thermoblade is just the same as surv. knife due immunity to the heat dmg but not physical, in the other heatblade's effective dmg is 0 since the creature is immune to 100% of the dmg.

Perhaps start with Lava Lizard?
