[QUOTE="Theo R Cwithin, post: 5092788, member: 75712"] My head is swimming thinking about this. What is the miss chance for an attack against a creature that has both an [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#invisibility"]invisibility[/URL] and a [URL="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/blink.htm"]blink[/URL] effect up? I don't think this is clear by RAW, and I have a feeling how I'd rule... but I'd like to see other opinions. Or if sbdy can point me to a faq or something official, that would be great, as well. FWIW, here's my interpretation: [sblock] The miss chance for invis and blink arise for different reasons: Miss chance for invis arise because target can't be seen. Miss chance for blink arises partly because target changes between seen/not seen, and partly because sometimes target changes between physically there/not there. For this reason, I think the miss chance for the two effects ought to stack, at least to a degree. I suspect the RAW interpretation is that [I]invis[/I]+[I]blink[/I] gives a 50% miss chance, regardless. However, this means for two attackers without [I]see invis, [/I] the one with a [I]ghost touch[/I] weapon is just as likely to hit as the one without. I think the [I]ghost-touch[/I] weapon ought to give an advantage, call it 30% to be consistent with the above numbers. So I am ruling: Well, there it is. Apologies if it's a a bit confusing to read; I just threw it out there without much editing. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
