How many people can fight in a doorway width-wise at once? I can't seem to find any info on these statistics for doors in the DMG (Even in the Doors section, maybe I'm blind)

The reason I ask is, I plan on starting to use Dwarven Forge tiles for my dungeons and looking at pics they're normal doors are on 10' wide bases (2 squares), and they also have "Narrow Door" pieces which are on 5 foot bases.

So are normal doors 10 feet wide enabling 2 people to fight in a blocked doorway while an archer with precise shot shoots from behind and a wizard lobs spells through the door from behind as well?

In real life, doors are about 30 inches wide (more or less). In every D&D campaign I've played, they've been 5' just to make things easy. It's really up to you, they can be any size you want.

Keep in mind, though, that a 5' wide doorway is more like the size of double doors, and a 10' wide doorway is more of a barn door than anything.... but you can often just fudge to make things easier.

Depends on the race they're built for.

Standard doors for medium creatures seem to average 5' wide in dnd, while ogres would prolly prefer 10' wide doors. Larger creatures would likely have even larger doors.
