Weapon with Bonus vs. Opponent (Enhancement)

This weapon modifier is an additional attack and damage bonus when the weapon is used against a specific opponent (for example, a sword +1/+2 vs. enchanted monsters). The amount of the bonus may be from +1 to +5 greater than the normal magical bonus of the weapon, according to the table below. (A sword +1 with a +3 bonus against lycanthropes would be a sword +1/+4 vs. lycanthropes.)
Roll 	Additional Modifier
01-57	+1
58-73	+2
74-82	+3
83-85	+4
86-00	+5

* Bugs include all normal and giant size forms of arachnids (spider, tick, scorpion), insects (ant, beetle, fly), and chilopods (centipedes).
* Constructs include all created monsters such as living statues or golems. Gargoyles are also included in this category.
* Dragon kind includes all dragons of all colors and sizes plus draconian monsters such as the chimera, hydra (all types), salamander, and wyvern.
* Enchanted monsters include those creatures that cannot be hit by normal or silver weapons.
* Giantkind includes all giants and all giant type creatures such as ogres, cyclopes, and other humanoids that are larger than human size (including characters who have consumed a potion of growth).
* Lycanthropes include all types of werecreatures, whether in animal form or not. This includes all characters afflicted with lycanthropy.
* Planar monsters include those creatures that come from the Elemental, Ethereal, Astral, or Outer Planes. All types are included, but Immortals do not count as planar monsters.
* Regenerating monsters include all creatures that regain more than 1 point per day by rest or other means. This includes any creature wearing a ring of regeneration.
* Reptiles and dinosaurs include all normal and giant size forms of lizards, snakes, turtles, crocodiles, and dinosaurs.
* Spell-Immune monsters include those creatures that are immune to 1 or more spell levels, as specified in the monster descriptions (such as drakes). This does not include creatures that are immune merely to certain specific spells (such as the undead immunity to sleep, charm, and hold).
* Spellcasters include all priests, elves, wizards, and other creatures able to use spells (such as paladins or spirits, for example).
* Undead includes all types of undead creatures, both land and water, from skeleton to lich.
* Water-breathing monsters include those creatures able to breathe water, including characters under the influence of a potion or ring of water breathing. Note that aquatic mammals (whale, dolphin, and so on) breathe air and are not included in this category.
* Weapon-using monsters include those creatures that have weapons in hand (not claws) at the time of a melee. For example, a wererat wielding a sword would be affected by this additional bonus, but the wererat would not be affected if it were attacking only with its bite.
