I would advise the DM to carefully considering the ramifications of any such rulings. Examples might include a fly speed without wings (such as death tyrant, for example), or a demilich’s Life Drain ability (This ability isn’t specifically described as being magical, but its description is very similar to a spell description).
Other, possibly magical features: If a feature is not described as magical but the DM decides that, in his D&D world, that feature is magical, it is suppressed. Magical features: Any feature that a monster possesses with the word “magic” or “magical” in it’s description, is suppressed in an antimagic field. These attacks do not get any of the extra magical damage inside an antimagic field. Magical Weapon Attacks: Some monsters (such as the deva) have magical weapon attacks.

Very few monsters are creatures or items created by magic. Hopefully what I have come up with will help with your rulings at your gaming table. The problem is that it only “suppresses” magic in the area, and it doesn’t affect especially strong magic such as that “created by an artifact or a deity”. The wording of the spell description goes on to explicitly define what that means. The core feature of the spell could be simply stated as “nothing magical works inside the area of effect of the spell”. It tells you most of what you need to know. The description of the antimagic field spell is long and detailed. This represents the results of my research and my current thoughts on this matter. I made rulings at the table to not slow down play, but promised to look into it further to find what the official rules are and to come up with house rules for anything that might come up that haven’t been covered by any official rulings that I could find.
