Ring of Blinking question

[Suldulin]

is there anything that says you can or can't turn off the ring while blinked on the ethereal plane?

I don't believe there's anything specific, but the spell implies that when you cease blinking, you are on the plane you started on. The ring would probably follow the same guidelines, so you wouldn't end up ethereal unless you started that way.

The spell was designed to give a combat advantage, not as a means of travel, so I'd venture a guess that most DM's will rule it the same way.

Ha ha ha ha!

Yes, let's just turn the Ring of Blinking into an Etherial Jaunt spell-like ability! Keep turning the ring on and off until you end up on the etherial plane when you deactivate it.

Hrm. I dunno, Murrdox. I thought the base question was: If I'm wearing a ring of blinking, and the party wizard casts ethereal jaunt on me, and then I take the ring off... which plane to I land on?

Of course, I may be wrong about that, and I still don't have an answer. As DM, I'd probably take the easy way out and say you stay on the Etheral Plane--until, of course, the ethereal jaunt runs out.

It seemed to me like the original poster was asking if it's possible to deactivate the Ring of Blinking while on the etherial plane, so that you'd cease blinking while on the etherial plane, and thus stay there.

He didn't make any mention of Etherial Juant in his post, just said "while blinked" which I think he means "while etherial".

Nonetheless, it's actually a very good question - but one I'd DEFINITELY say no to.

You land on the plane where you were when you started blinking.

Dispelling a spell ends it as if its duration had expired. When blink expires, you automatically return to the plane where you started.

heh, indeed and ditto, but it is a curious question no?
