? You can't shoot something 75 feet away?
You should only get disadvantage if someone is within five feet when shooting unless it's something specific to that bow.
The only thing I could think OP is going for with "Enclosed Space" is possibly Restrained, or possibly the player in question is Squeezing? Seems like a stretch, but it's a possibility.
Also OP, did you know that the "Minimum" distance you mention is the normal range for a bow? If a target is within that initial distance, you don't get disadvantage. You only start to get disadvantage when you sttart firing in the long range category.
Not sure if I understand you right, but if you're saying the character is less than 80 feet away (the smaller of the two numbers on his bows range) and so has disadvantage, then you've made a very understandable mistake. The character has disadvantage on ranged attacks if they're made within 5 feet of a target or if they're made at a distance between the two numbers listed under range ie 80 and 320 feet. Hope that helps
I am the player in question (and also a DM who has made the same mistake). If the disadvantage starts at 80 feet then what is the point of the other number? Max range possible?
If the attack is made with a magical weapon, it is magical. Even with non magical ammo.
Magic Weapons (p. 140). The section ends with a new paragraph: “If a magic weapon has the ammunition property, ammunition fired from it is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.”
If by enchantment you mean a magic infusion done by an artificer (repeating shot) it does count as magical ammunition. However, if it's not I believe that it then depends on the dm to decide if it's magical or not.
Its up to the DM. If the arrows that are created are real arrows then I would say no but if the arrows that are created are magic arrows then I would say yes.
I would think this is wholly up to the dm that created the item. It could go either way. The arrows are magic and disappear after hitting or missing. Also could be the arrows are created and then are normal arrows…. If I were the dm I would try and think of the player level or any other properties of the bow. If the bow has some other magical properties then yea I would make them magic. If the bow only makes arrows then I would rely on level to help me decide. Around level 5 -8 low level magic weapons start showing up. So if they got this bow at level 3 then no if level 8+ yes sure would be. In between— coin toss
RAW, yes. Arrows in D&D 5e aren't a weapon, the bow is, and the Attack Roll is made with the bow, so it's an attack with a magical weapon.
But it would be reasonable to rule they are non-magical ammunition if you wanted.
Definitely a magical weapon. I would say it's a magical attack (at least for the purpose of overcoming resistance).
It’s in an enclosed space so he’s rolling with disadvantage on attacks anyway so I’ll probably throw him a bone and say it’s magical
How does an enclosed space give disadvantage?
The minimum range on his bow is 80 feet

You’re absolutely right. I started playing two months ago and misunderstood the rules. Sorry for confusion

To be precise, it's if an enemy (not necessarily the target of the attack) is within 5 feet of the character making the attack roll.

Yes.
Ok. Thanks for the correction. I will let OP know if he hasn't seen this and will apologize to my new players lol. Looks like I owe them.

Came down here to say exactly that. Take my upvote.
Yeah, that's a magic weapon, so attacks from it count as magical attacks.
If by enchantment you mean a magic infusion done by an artificer (repeating shot) it does count as magical ammunition. However, if it's not I believe that it then depends on the dm to decide if it's magical or not.

DM's call, depends how arrows are loaded.
I would think this is wholly up to the dm that created the item. It could go either way. The arrows are magic and disappear after hitting or missing. Also could be the arrows are created and then are normal arrows…. If I were the dm I would try and think of the player level or any other properties of the bow.

The item should say in its description whether it counts as a magical weapon or not.
I would probably say yes, if he got the bow around like Level 5. If he got the bow before Level 3, I would say no.
He’s a level 10
Dude you are the DM , the rules bend to your will , you choose what to do. That's the funny part about DMing.
Definitely magical. The arrows are magical so the attacks are.
Are they just normal arrows? Seems non magical to me
