There is no such thing as “magical damage”. The list of damage types includes “radiant”, “necrotic”, “bludgeoning”,”fire”, and so on. The +1 Mace does Bludgeoning damage, but it is a magic item and therefore does so as a magical attack. Hence it bypasses the resistance to “bludgeoning damage from non-magical attacks”.
Do all magic weapons overcome damage reduction 5e?
No, unless the Statblock says otherwise In 5e, there is no such thing as Resistance to Magic Weapons or Attacks (not that I’ve seen in any statblock, anyway).
Is Force damage magic damage?
Force is pure magical energy focused into a damaging form. Most effects that deal force damage are spells, including magic missile and spiritual weapon.
Does every damage type have a way to deal?
The last three are the damage types that are given to the weapons listed in the PHB. As such, it is easy to deal nonmagical damage of those types. But what about the other damage types?
Is there a distinction between magical damage and nonmagical damage?
First of all, this example gives evidence that “resistance to all nonmagical damage” is a valid type of damage resistance, and that the phrase “nonmagical damage” is itself a distinct category of damage (presumably defined as “damage that is not magical”).
Are there any nonmagical damage types in Pokemon?
Many monsters have poisonous stings or bites, and this is usually considered nonmagical. Thunder damage, caused by a ‘sonic attack’, is another one that is conceivably nonmagical but it is hard to imagine any nonmagical means of producing such a thing in a fantasy setting. Force is inherently magical.
Is there a difference between magical damage and antimagic field?
The breath weapon of a typical dragon isn’t considered magical, so antimagic field won’t help you but armor of invulnerability will. Thus armor of invulnerability is used as the canonical example for “protecting you from damage caused by a nonmagical effect”. I’m not sure how much clearer it could be.
