Immunity to non-magical weapons
Rule, Magic items
Creatures immune to ordinary weapons can still be hurt by certain attackers even without magic weapons.
From the book
Some creatures and beings cannot be harmed by ordinary weapons, but even they are not wholly safe from mundane attacks. Three kinds of attacker can still hurt them.
Members of the same species can wound one another with their natural weapons, such as claws and bites. Anyone whose Strength equals or exceeds the creature's can always deal battering damage, half the normal amount, whether swinging a weapon or fighting bare-handed. Characters trained in Martial Arts II can also harm such creatures when fighting without weapons.
