Diluted Oil of Sharpness effect bugged.

Says specifically in the item description "Overcome resistance to non-magical damage". I shot a Raging Barbarian and his Resistance was intact. Took an attack that should have did 19 damage to 9.

Yeah, i wonder if this is going to be fixed

barbarians while raging are resistant to both nonmagical and magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

No bug here.

The item *SPECIFICALLY* "overcomes resistance to non-magical damage* i.e. weapon attacks. Which means it should have ignored that and did full Piercing damage from the +1 ranged weapon(I forgot what it was at the time, Shortbow probably).

Had the same problem but I think it is just not described very well.
It might be that it talks about the origin of the resistance i.e. if the resistance comes from some physical property like scales or magical property like a protection spell.
Not sure though so it might still be a bug or not.

Could be but it is still a bug in this case, because it is not specified regarding resistance types correctly.

There are a ton of bugs like that. And some even worse, like special arrows not adding piercing damage, or ground affecting magic like grease has its DC stuck on 12, and it cannot be raised, even if you have higher Int, proficiency whatever.

Yes, if a creature is resistant to non-magical damage then this would basically make your weapon count as magical. I think your confusion is based on the way 5e handles resistances like this:
A creature can be resistant to a nonmagical damage type (sometimes with caveats like silver) or it can just be resistant to that type of damage. In this case, the simple resistance is more powerful and the two types of resistances are two distinct things. This potion specifically allows you to get past the lower-tier "nonmagical damage" creatures' resistance, but something like a barbarian's rage is indiscriminate as to whether the damage is magical or not—it's just resistant and this potion that only bypasses the nonmagical resistance does nothing to change that.

It could probably be worded more clearly but from a 5e-familiar view, it's pretty clearly legible.

I just tried on mimics and it still doesn't work.
It's a bug imo.. 🙄
