How strong is a +1 weapon?

A "+1 weapon" in tabletop RPGs like D&D is a magical item that adds a flat +1 bonus to both attack rolls (making it more likely to hit) and damage rolls (adding 1 extra damage), crucially allowing it to bypass resistances to non-magical attacks, making it significantly stronger than a mundane weapon, especially against creatures resistant to normal damage. While powerful early on, its relative strength decreases at higher levels as enemies' defenses and health grow, but its magical nature remains valuable.
