Does that also apply to a creature that has DR#/silver as well?

Thanks,

yea the overall damage of a silvered weapon is reduced by one point.

from the srd:

On a successful attack with a silvered weapon, the wielder takes a –1 penalty on the damage roll (with the usual minimum of 1 point of damage).

the DMG has the same.

I interpret that as including ammunition as well .. a silvered crossbow bolt would do (D8-1) damage for example.

12-06-06, 02:22 AM ah, but think of a non-sneakable critter with DR1/silver. Then the halfling rogues with normal daggers will do a (d3-1)-1, which can go down to zero! But the halfling rogues with silvered daggers which do d3-2 with a minimum of one! (alas, also a maximum, but at least you get it all the time instead of 33% of the time!)
