[QUOTE="ARandomGod, post: 2033713, member: 17296"] No, it's more a rule on the nature of blinking than the nature of the ghost touch enhancement. A ghost is something that can manifest and attack. That's exactly what the blink is doing, sending you away, manifesting you randomly. The whole interaction of ghostliness and etherealness etcetera is very ... poorly written. This ruling actually makes it better (IMO obviously) because it gives a nice counter to the blink ability. By "disputed" I mean more that the "according to RAW" is disputed. I don't think RAW is very clearly written on this subject, so this is my interpretation of RAW. Which is lightly different than houserules, as a house rule agrees that it's different than RAW. But everyone I'm playing with agrees with the rule I stated, so it's not disputed in that way. I don't think that's how it works... it's not an item which casts the spell on you, it's a continual item, so that the effect is "on" or "off". When I have a character with blink he usually just keeps it on all the time. Very nice against those surprise attacks. Sure, you move slower, but get something to counteract that and it's all good. Definitely not. Read the spell description, the miss chance is definitely not from concealment. And the "concealment" you get is from the partial invisibility. The "fuzzy" statement regarding the ethereal plane is flavor text. Sure, you can house rule that all you want, if you don't like the effect, I see no issue with houseruling it away. But the actual rule definitely give sneak with this. [/QUOTE]
