[QUOTE="Brother MacLaren, post: 1950943, member: 15999"] No, in one of the stories I'm thinking of, a werewolf got blasted apart by dynamite (not magic but close enough), regenerated his parts back together, shrugged it off, and was then killed by a silver bullet. Whereupon the werewolf slayer noted "There's only [I]one [/I] way to kill a werewolf." Not a legend, not even a very good movie, but a fun scene. So, to enable those rare Greater Werewolves to get past these cheap-and-easy attempts, you give them regeneration and stipulate that only silver deals normal damage, similar (but in lesser degree) to that possessed by pit fiends. Regeneration is one case well-established in D&D where magic does [I]not[/I] trump all else. Anyway, enhancement bonuses on a magic weapon are not the same thing as directed spells. Enhancement bonuses are not subject to SR. Your point about how much better than everything else Magic Missile is should be a topic for another rant, but it's one I've done before. [/QUOTE]
