Is a door sized for Medium creatures a Medium sized object?


Rules Questions


Very simply: Is a door that is designed for Medium sized creatures (that is, a Large sized creature would have to squeeze to get through) a Medium sized object?

For what purpose ? Determining the break DC ? Determining the Hit Points of the Door ?

I'd say it depends on the height of the door and room. The door should be nearly 5 feet wide, and if it's just 7 feet tall or so, then it'd be medium. But sometimes, a 5 foot wide door intended for humans can be much taller than that, so they'd still be squeezing for a large creature to pass through, but they wouldn't have to bend down.

For the purposes of the Break spell.

Researching now.

I can't seem to find a definition of exactly how big a "medium" sized object is, other than a two-handed weapon for a medium creature is itself a medium-sized object.

So I'll have to fall back to "ask your GM". Some doors may be medium objects and some might not.

The short answer: yes.

Size categories for pathfinder are the same as creature size found in the combat section of the crb. Fine, diminutive, tiny, small, medium, large, etc. A medium object fits in a 5' square, a large object in a 10' square.
Check out the animate objects spell. A medium object becomes a medium creature.
