My favorite loop hole is 2 ghost touch weapons and a ring of blinking, constant sneak attack I know it can get done in other ways just like the effect and look.

Doesn't work. Ghost touch weapons won't let you strike into the material plane from the ethereal plane. (Blink + sneak attack is still a good combo though.)

SRD said:

Ghost Touch: A ghost touch weapon deals damage normally against incorporeal creatures, regardless of its bonus. (An incorporeal creature’s 50% chance to avoid damage does not apply to attacks with ghost touch weapons.) The weapon can be picked up and moved by an incorporeal creature at any time. A manifesting ghost can wield the weapon against corporeal foes. Essentially, a ghost touch weapon counts as either corporeal or incorporeal at any given time, whichever is more beneficial to the wielder.

actualy you can attack from the etheral plane with ghost touch weapons



also i think i get the constant sneak attack. my guess is that if you can see both the material an ethereal plane that it will not work right?

Leap Attack + Shock Trooper (heedless charge) + total Power Attack + Frenzied Berzerker's supreme power attack to get your damage into quadruple digits and hit 95% of the time.

• The valorous weapon ability (+1) from Unapproachable East lets you deal double damage on a charge. (UE is a "3.25" book. IMO the 3.5 version would be +2d6 damage on a charge, like the rhino hide armor.)
• Rhino hide armor. Adds +2d6 damage on a charge.
• The rhino's rush (Pal 1, Rgr 1, Wrath 1) spell from the Spell compendium lets you deal double damage on a charge and is cast as a swift action.
• The Powerful Charge and Greater Powerful Charge feats from the ECS add damage dice (+1d8 -> +2d6 for a Medium character) on a charge.
• The Blood-Spiked Charge tactical feat from PHBII lets you add 2x Str bonus to damage and attack with both spiked shield and spiked armor on a charge.
• Centaurs (4HD, +2 LA) deal double damage with a lance on a charge. And they have a +8 racial bonus to Str... If the DM lets you apply mounted combat feats to yourself, Spirited Charge makes that 3x damage.

Nope. Your quote is irrelevant, since it deals with incorporeal creatures. A creature on the ethereal plane is not incorporeal, they are ethereal.
