I've got a simple question, Girrigz is a wererat with 10 points in damage reduction. If a fighter attacks it with a magic longsword +1, does the damage reduction cancel? That is to say, if the fighter makes 8 damages, Girrigz would loose 8 hit points or no hit point because, even if the longsword is magic, it is not in silver?
Thanks!
You need a silver weapon to by-pass damage reduction 10/silver.
The players should have found one vial of silversheen in Edge of Anarchy with Gaedren's treasure trove, so they can coat at least one weapon.
Thats if they didn't get greedy and sell it.... :)

...or use it in the "City in Peril" encounter with all the imps, heheh.
Pathfinder RPG Beta rules are a little different with damage reduction. It's in the catch-all area in the back of the document, if you're using those rules. Can't recall all the specifics now, other than +1 weapons being good enough to overcome some damage reduction, +3 overcoming others (to specific materials...?), and +5 overcoming the alignment stuff, I believe.

DO you want to mean that a simple +1 longsword can cancel DR10? Like a spell?
I am not sure how Pathfinder does it, but I have always run the game as being that magic items qualify to bypass DR that can be violated by non-magic items (like silver). So yes, a magic item can bypass DR silver.

Thanks for your answers, but in fact, I consider that if the weapon is not in the correct material, even if it's magic, it wouldn't be able to overpass the DR.
Imagine a PC's got a plastic longsword, but a plastic longsword +1. Since his sword is magic (but in plastic and not in silver), would it mean that the PC can hurt a werewolf thanks to his sword? Do you understand what I want to mean?According to me, the DR for the werewolf is against all weapon, except which one would be in silver (because some monsters have a DR against all except magic, so...)

Sempai, your interpretation is 100% correct, according to the 3.5 rules.
The Pathfinder RPG (if I recall correctly) changed some of that up, so you will have to do a bit more research if you are using the Pathfinder RPG rules.

Thanks a lot, so that is to say taht in a 3.5 point of view, I was right but according to the pathfinder new rules, NOW, magic weapon overpass every DR, isn't it?

not sure of the exact question about "magic weapon". If referring to the spell "Magic Weapon" then no, it would make a non-magical weapon a +1 for the duration of the spell, thus bypassing DR/Magic but not DR/Silver or DR/Adamantine (or anything BUT DR/Magic)
other damage-causing spells WOULD bypass the DR, as that applies to physical attacks only.
elemental damage, like alch-fire, acid, and the like would do the same.

When I talk about magic weapon, it's just a weapon with +1 on attack and damage throws.
