[Side note: not sure I agree with that, but that's a topic for another time...]Now, recently my group was fighting some wights, and they are resistant to (necrotic; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical weapons that aren’t silvered). The fighter is a low level addition to the group (previous character died), and does not have a magic weapon. The paladin wields a sentient magical sword as his primary, but does have a Mace of Disruption as a back up that he is attuned to. After the battle, I was asked whether or not the paladin could have given his Mace to the fighter to use [who would not be attuned], and would it affect the wights.  Everybody agrees that the extra abilities of the Mace (i.e. extra 2d6 damage, Wis save, light, etc) would not be active, but would the Mace's inherent magic, the ability to pierce the wight's resistance, be effective?Thoughts?</blockquote>
