He would still get the other benefits (and disadvantages) of the spell.The other aspect of this is that presumably, if you can See Invisible and can tell when he is in the material plane and when he is in the ethereal plane, you could have a chance to totally negate the 20% miss chance (for being ethereal) as well. For example: "I ready my attack for when he comes back into the Material Plane.". Unlike the case where you cannot see him, a DM might allow you to do this because you can "keep your eye on him".Some DMs might rule that since you know exactly where and when he comes back, you attack and he does not get his miss chance. Other DMs might rule that the 20% lowers to 5% or 10% because there is a slim chance he might blink back out again before the readied action (but, unlikely). Still, other DMs might rule that he still gets his 20% miss chance because he might blink back out before your readied action occurs and the readied action does not change the game mechanics. But, depending on how you rule this, See Invisibility might indeed negate (or partially negate) Blink with a Readied Action.I do not think that the rules are totally clear on whether Blink trumps Readied or Readied trumps Blink. Game mechanics-wise, I presume that the Sage will state that Blink trumps Readied.In fact, you may be able to Ready an Attack for when he comes back into the material plane without being able to See Invisible (i.e. he appears, I attack). How that works is also unclear and DM dependent as well.The other cool thing about Blink is that although True Seeing can see in the Ethereal Plane and negate the invisibility portion of this, it does not negate the 20% miss chance for being ethereal half of the time.Finally!!! A spell that True Seeing does not totally negate straight up. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
