[QUOTE="AuraSeer, post: 843142, member: 1331"] There's a 50% miss chance for people attacking the blinker. When he's ethereal, they can neither see him nor touch him; that makes it hard to track his location, and hard to connect with a swing. But the blinker can always see material creatures, even when he's ethereal, so he has less trouble. His weapon may still "phase through" a target-- represented by the remaining miss chance-- but he can track his targets just fine. (Note that if a blinker fights someone who can see but not strike ethereal creatures, they're on even footing. Each has the same 20% miss chance.) [houserule] According to the SRD, ethereal creatures can only see on the Material plane within a 60' radius. If a blinker tries to attack a material creature further away than that, I'd probably apply the full 50% miss chance, since he can neither see nor touch them when he's blinked out. Nothing in the book specifically says this, though. [/houserule] [/QUOTE]
