So my players have been given a hook and there are two tribes near the location they have to travel to. And one of those tribes is werewolves. All of them. The paladin has a magical hammer so he's fine. The fighter might be able to break through their immunities. Can't remember, gonna have to check her sheet but my other fighter. The archer of the group. He has a +1 longbow. But no magical arrows. So would he be able to damage them? Because the arrow itself is not magical it's the bow. I would be the dick here and say that the werewolf is then unharmed by it, or at least resistant toward the damage done. My rogue has firebolt so he's (somewhat) fine but it's mostly the fighter. So are the werewolves immune to his arrows? Or is this gonna be the easiest werewolf beating ever? xD
If a magic weapon has the ammunition property, ammunition fired from it is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Thank you! Then I might have to increase their power level! Thank you for the clarification! ^^

I can't find the rule atm, butammo fired from a magic ranged weapon deals magic damage.I'll update if I find the rule.[Edit]Found it in DMG. It is not in basic rules anywhere, this may be an oversight since it is part of November 2017 errata (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/rules-game-mechanics/8760-official-wizards-of-the-coast-errata?comment=8).
DMG under magic weapon section here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dmg/treasure#MagicItems
