Hide and detect evil

Well, yes, they will, I think, still have the +4 benefit of cover, or the 20% miss chance of concealment, if one of those were used to Hide (usually the case, I agree), but I do not believe that means they are hidden anymore- to me, that means NOT knowing where they are standing- cover and concealment are different, not lesser types of Hide. They do not permit sniping in this scenario, for example, in my view.

In the campaign I am playng in my paladin used detect evil to find an ethereal opponent. He still had total concealment but I was able to pinpoint him location.

What's the point? Even if you did, you still couldn't affect your opponent.

You can point out where it is to someone who can affect it.

Sure... wait... where did that handy 5ft. grid go that was on the floor???

The hidden target will still have 50% miss chance + cover AC bonuses.
