The only thing I can find (DMG) is that "certain effects and magical force" can harm opponents on the border ethereal. So, given an enemy NPC on the border ethereal (say something similar to a ghost) choses to attack the party. if the NPC stays in the border ethereal, how can the party harm it? Magic Missiles seems right there, whatever magical force damage is there? But how else? Magic weapons? Silver? Other spells? Which ones?Now, assume the NPC can shift out, attack physically, shift back; then the party could ready attacks. Any special rules or considerations for this? (resistance, saves, check to time it well enough?)</blockquote>
