I never understood how a sword in Dungeons & Dragons could hurt a ghost. Wouldn't it go right through the ghost?
From the webpage of the link provided by an answerer here, it seems that generally there is some substance to ghosts in Dungeons & Dragons. Perhaps though magic with the sword adds much more ability to inflict damage when fighting a ghost than when fighting against most other monsters.

I wonder this when playing any game, but if Dungeons and Dragons had it so you HAD to kill ghosts in some other way, that would make it even more complicated than it already is.

I knew about the argument that a magical sword could damage a ghost because of the magic, but that's as far as I had gotten.
