Because they are partially magical in nature, and arcane is an anti-magic damage type. This is the same reason the elves have an arcane vulnerability.

Also, game balance.

arcane is considered to be anti-magic? I always thought the opposite... (But than again, it used to be holy... I guess that sort of makes sense...)

edit: in the case that it is anti-magic, that makes sense. (and of course, it is for game balance. I rarely argue about this subject. I am no expert on this topic anyhow...)

edit: this topic can be locked. the question was answered.

No need for the backseat modding. Indeed, your irrelevant comment is what gets this thread locked, rather than ignored.
