So I am trying to figure out what happens when a character with a ghost touch weapon activiates a ring of blinking and tries to attack from the material plane. I am personally of the opinion that a ring of blinking sends you to the ethereal plane and gives you a 20% miss chance because a ghost touch weapon only involves incorporealness.
The part that is getting me messed up is that the blink spell (which is how a ring of blinking functions) says that it pops you to the ethereal plane but when describing you says you are incorporeal. My gut says that what was meant was to describe your ability to move through objects and such just as an incorporeal creature would, but I have a player who contends that with a ghost touch weapon he should be able to sneak attack without the 20% miss chance while blinking because he's incorporeal and therefore the ghost touch weapon would still work.
Is this a typo on the SRD?
