[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 473898, member: 3146"] Blinking works against blindsight but not against see invisibility (as specified in the spell) and therefore most likely not against invisibility purge. There is very good indication from the text of the spell that the 50% miss chance comes partly from the fact that you're not physically there (that's the 20% miss chance you incur as well) and partly from the fact that you're invisible when you're not there. Since the text specifies that if the opponent can see invisible creatures, his miss chance is only 20% and that if he can see and strike ethereal creatures, he doesn't have a miss chance, it stands to reason that See Invisibility reduces the miss chance because it eliminates the concealment granted by the spell. I'm not certain that means the creature should retain its dex bonus though. Blink seems to deny the opponent their dex bonus primarily because they can't predict when you will be solid. If the invisibility were the relevant part, Blindfight would help against it. Since See Invisibility doesn't change the inability to predict solidity, I think you should still be able to sneak attack your foes. [/QUOTE]
