[QUOTE="mellored, post: 9645292, member: 6801209"] Ranged is fine. Acid or fire damage to shut down regeneration is fine. Getting healed with Lightning damage is fine. Vulnerable to bludgeoning or radiant is fine. Weaknesses to creatures with bless is fine. High AC and low Dex saves is fine. All and more are still in the game. (Though mainly have been reduced from Immunity to Resistance, so you can still do something if your caught out of your element.) But magic weapons just doesn’t make anything interesting. It's not a player choice. It's not picking between Ray of frost or Firebolt. You didn't make or build it. You couldn't scout out the creature and seek our a knowledgeable sage to find it's weaknesses. You didn't hunt down Medusa's head to kill the Kraken. Nor is it reusable. If you got a magic weapon for jaklewere, then the golem doesn't get to use it's feature. Or any other creature you fought that had Immunity to non-magic weapons and didn't even notice. I get your DM made it work for you, and that's great. But it's a credit to them, not the mechanic. [/QUOTE]
