[QUOTE="Shin Okada, post: 2034132, member: 1956"] Where have you got this idea? First of all, the descriptive text of Blink spell does not include the word "manifest" or "manifestation". Thus, this is not a manifestation. Second. "Manifestation" is a ghost's ability which allow it to partly enter the material plane. The ghost is still partly in the Ethereal plane. They do exist on the material plane and the ethereal plane simultaneousely. And they are incorporeal in the material plane. That is completely different ability from blinking. When blinking, you blink back and forth betwween the matereal plane and the ethereal plane. At one moment, you are on the matereal plane. At another moment, you are on the ethereal plane. Third. Ghost touch weapon can be picked up and moved by a manifesting ghost because it is an incorporeal creature in material plane (they do exist on two planes simultaneousely). The description of the weapon ability never say that it can damage or picked up by something in the ethereal plane and not in the material plane. So, a ghost touch weapon cannot harm someone while that one is (only) in the ethereal plane. [/QUOTE]
