I have a question regarding etheral jaunt. As it says in description:
"An ethereal creature is invisible, insubstantial, and capable of moving in any direction, even up or down, albeit at half normal speed. As an insubstantial creature, you can move through solid objects, including living creatures. An ethereal creature can see and hear on the Material Plane, but everything looks gray and ephemeral. Sight and hearing onto the Material Plane are limited to 60 feet. "
Say a phase spider attacks an enemy. Enemy has an ability to fly and moves 10 feet into the air. Spiders' turn. Spider goes etheral and moves 20 feet up (half speed) and above the character. (I am not really sure if it could go etheral AND move in th same time. Some clarification on this would be nice) But here's my main question:
Spider in its etheral form positions itself just ABOVE the flying character and switches onto material plane. What happens? Can a materialised spider attack the target just under it, since it has no fly ability? Does it just drop to the ground? Can it drop on a character and deal dmg? Can it grapple a character and they both drop to the ground/stay in the air due to characters' fly ability?
tnx
