What is the difference between the following;
DR 10/magic and silver vs.
DR 10/magic or silver.
Is there a difference?

There is a difference. In the first, DR 10/magic and silver, the weapon striking the creature must meet both requirements in order to bypass they DR. So if there is a magic but not silver weapon it still is affected by the DR.
The second example, DR 10/magic or silver, is the reverse. If there is either magic or silver it bypasses DR. So a non-magical silvered weapon will bypass it nicely.

The first requires a magical silver weapon, the second requires a magical or a silver weapon.
You know that is what I thought but my current GM, disagrees. This has only come because I'm soon to run a game and he will be one of the players. As such is there any official rules as to this ruling I can show him when the time comes up in the future when they face a vampire?

A weapon that is only one type is still subject to damage reduction.
Thank you.
