Custom damage types are in blocks of #00-#99 per Creator. You can reserve another block range if you filled one.

It is recommended to use simple words for the damage type and the description should describe the intent. Someone might want to use your damage type in their scripts or it could even be used in third party HUDs that may need to describe your damage to a reader. E.g. for DAMAGE_TYPE_CRUSHING from an object named "water" I could code a PvP HUD to tell the (user) was (crushed) by (water).
