dnd5e damage type and resistances

[Marquis_de_Taigeis]

Hi

I'm trying to get the making of silvered weapons to work, and have ran into the following,

42636

now as you can see when i put magic into the damage type it bypasses the resistance but not for silver, now I am possibly being thick and my test NPC doesn't react to silver, but having tested the same on mummies and vampires, i think this might be a case with the coding for silver. does any one have any ideas.

i have copied from the wiki the section on resistances and damage types below.

[range] = melee, ranged
[damage type] = acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, thunder, adamantine, bludgeoning, cold-forged iron, magic, piercing, silver, slashing
[stat] = strength, constitution, dexterity, intelligence, wisdom, charisma
[ability] = strength, constitution, dexterity, intelligence, wisdom, charisma
[skill] = any skill name
[condition] = Any condition as noted above except exhaustion. Note [condition] must be all lower case
* = Multiple entries of this descriptor type allowed.

regards

We need to know what you are attacking. Looks like from your screenshot you are attacking a Lich and Lich's don't have any resistances which are overcome with silver weapons. Test on a Lycanthrope which do have resistances that are overcome by silver weapons.
