08-22-05, 07:41 AM If you are using the blink spell and you have a ghost touch weapon, can you then attack creatures on the material plane while you've blinked to the ethereal plane?
I'm having some difficulty distinguishing between the ethereal and incorporeal.

08-22-05, 11:23 AM The difference is that incorporeal creatures are opn the Material Plane, but don't have bodies, whereas Ethereal creatures are on a different plane, but can see onto the Material Plane, and be affected by force effects on either plane, though their force effects can't affect the Material.

Ghost Touch applies only to incorporeal creatures, so it would therefore not help when Blinking.

Incorporeality is not Etherealness.

Ghost Touched helps with incorporeality, it does NOT allow you to attack the Material plane from the Ethereal plane.

It takes an ability such as transdimensional spell to cross from ethereal plane to the material plane.
