There are monsters that are resistant to bludgeoning piercing or slashing and don’t specify magical or nonmagical. They would be resistant to the damage type regardless of if it’s magical or not. But 5e doesn’t specify degree of magic weapon for damage resistance.
Besides, is bludgeoning or slashing damage better?
There is no inherent difference in them. However certain creatures/spells/magic items may treat them differently. Skeletons are vulnerable to bludgeoning damage, for example. Jellies (black pudding and ochre jelly for example) will split when hit with slashing damage (also lightning).
People also ask, what does resistance to slashing mean?
