Magical Ranged Wapons?

[Dendread]

Okay, let me ask a question that's probably been asked and answered a ba-gil-zillion times...

I've got a +5 BAB (no modifiers).
I've got a +1 light crossbow.
I shoot a normal arrow from it.
Is there a bonus to hit? Is there a bonus to damage? Or is the arrow just treated as pseudo-magical?

Thanks for humoring me.

Yes, yes, sort of (for purposes of bypassing DR).

As KR said, yes the enhancement bonus transfers over (doesn't stack if the arrow was magical though - you just take the better of the two). And the arrow does count as magical for the purposes of bypassing DR.

I'll assume you meant crossbow + bolt

In 3.5, yes. In 3.0, they stacked (that's one of the things that made archers so freakishly powerful).
