Lock Lurker

[Grazzt]

Just to simplify the partial etherealness stuff and bring it more in line with 3e, I would just give it Ethereal Jaunt (see the ethereal filcher and ethereal marauder in the MM for details).

Simple, concise, and to the point. Yes, the whole creature can become ethereal rather than just the stinger, but it still works.

Ethereal Jaunt (Su): A lock lurker can shift from the Ethereal to the Material Plane as part of any move action, and shift back again as a free action.
It can remain on the Ethereal Plane for 1 round before returning to the Material.
The ability is otherwise identical with ethereal jaunt cast by a 15th-level sorcerer.
