[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 2457058, member: 11300"] This is a really interesting question! My gut reaction is no. You should not be able to get the +1 enhancement bonus to hit for a masterwork weapon. This is mainly because it would have been explicitly stated in the DMG if such was how it worked. The vagueness in description means that they may not have really thought it through - they have just assumed that everyone else was thinking in the same way that they were. However, I'm finding it difficult to come up with anything to justify this position. :confused: The masterwork enhancement bonus still applies and is separate to the magical enhancement bonus which has been transferred into AC. There is nothing that says that because the weapon is magical, the masterwork property no longer exists anymore and so, I think I'd have to let it stand: +1 to hit +0 to damage. You just lose that +1 to damage. I think this is worthy of further study though. Hypersmurf can usually smurf these ones out. In regards to DR/magic though, I totally disagree with Endovior and Infiniti2000. The weapon is still magical - even if it's enhancement bonus has been "magically" transferred to a different bonus (unnamed to AC). It does not ever stop being a magical weapon and so unless it is momentarilly dispelled or anti-magicked, then I would still say that this ability is not affected.
