Incorporeal Movement | EN World Tabletop RPG News & Reviews

Incorporeal Movement is something like a condition. It occurs in the Monster Manual for certain creatures like ghosts. It says, one can ‘move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain’.

Is a door an ‘object’? Is this saying, for example, that a ghost cannot pass thru walls, but it can pass thru a door? Or is it saying, that a locked door can also keep out a ghost?

Is there an incontrovertable way to interpret this?

Incidentally, I assume, resistance to nonmagical weapons (bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing) always comes with Incorporeal Movement, as part of the mechanics of being semi-solid.

Just curious about what the rules-as-written mean.
