 A traditional magic weapon has a +1 bonus to hit and to damage.  These weapons are known generally as "plus-1" (+1) or the like, depending on the bonus enjoyed by the weapon.  However, take note that the immunity listed here does not necessarily apply to "+1" weapons, but to "''magic''" weapons.  Some magic weapons have no bonus to hit, such as the cleric spell [[Magic Stone (spell)|magic stone]], [[Spiritual Hammer (spell)|spiritual hammer]] (at lower levels), [[Enchanted Weapon (spell)|enchanted weapon]] and the like.  Though not possessing a to-hit bonus, weapons like these are still effective against creatures hit only by magic.

 A combatant cannot know by sight if a given creature can only be hit by magic.  However, if a combatant engages in melee with such a creature, and successfully rolls to hit, only to have the hit fail to register on the targeted creature, the contact made by the weapon will reveal instantly to the attacker that no damage was done.  This knowledge arises through the combatant's experience in having trained with at least one weapon (including [[Illusionist (class)|illusionists]] and [[Mage (class)|mages]]).  For game purposes, '''a player character is informed''' at this point that weapons are useless against the creature, so that some other strategy beyond direct confrontation can be attempted.

	The phrase '''Magic to Hit''' describes an enemy that cannot be [[Roll to Hit\|hit]] or [[Damage (hit points)\|hurt]] unless the [[Attacking in Combat\|attacker]] is using a [[Magical Weapons\|magical weapon]]. This immunity generally exists because the creature is supernatural in some way, and often especially powerful as well. Some creatures are immune to even the lowest forms of magic weapon, needing a +2 magic weapon or greater to hit. Individual creatures with this defense may have peculiar characteristics related to this immunity.
