so what would happen if a monster is immune to non magical weapon attacks would they be resistant to it or would it be regular damage? example Werewolves
(Immunities Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing from Nonmagical Attacks that aren't Silvered)
Werewolves take no damage Bludegeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage from attacks that aren't magical in nature, from a magical weapon or spell, or aren't a silvered weapon/ammunition.
From the MM intro:
Vulnerabilities, Resistances, and Immunities - Some creatures have vulnerability, resistance, or immunity to certain types of damage. Particular creatures are even resistant or immune to damage from non-magical attacks (a magical attack is an attack delivered by a spell, a magic item, or another magical source). In addition, some creatures are immune to certain conditions.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” - Mark Twain - Innocents Abroad
You could houserule certain monsters to instead be immune to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing from Nonmagical Attacks and resistance to magical one.
