How do ghosts fight, and how do they receive pain? Do they have to be materialized in order to give or receive damage? Can my character use an ethereal weapon that crossed over with him? Can he use his hands to choke someone, and at that time, do his hands have to be materialized? Thanks.
Now, to answer your specific questions. Ghosts fight using all those tree skills, reading them should answer most and basic questions.
To answer your materialization questions, Please read this Ghost: Materialization Questions thread. In short, no, they don't have to be materialized to both give and receive damage, reading the thread should give you the details.
An ethereal weapon would be a magical and special item, he can't 'come across' such item without moderation attention/permission, but if he does, then yes, he can use them using Soulmist Projection.
For choking, read the previous thread I linked you, that will also answer your question.
I hope my answer helps! And welcome to Mizahar, it's always good to see another ethereal phantom haunting about.
