I'm sure you're all about sick of glitterdust questions and this is probably answered somewhere, but a player had a question and I said I'd ask. Does the glitterdust spell help you to see ethereal creatures?
1. Ethereal creatures are considered invisible, but I'm not convinced that glitterdust actually crosses between the planes, not being a [force] effect. Just for completeness though, does glitterdust affect ethereal creatures caught in its area?
2. We were battling a manifested ghost. Managed to catch it in glitterdust. Will save not Fort save, so it failed and was blinded. It fled and de-manifested back to ethereal. Would it still be trackable/visible once ethereal? I see nothing that says ethereal glitterdust is visible on the Material Plane. I know it negates invisibility, but I don't think it means the invisibility from being on a different plane of existence, whereas see invisibility specifically mentions seeing ethereal creatures and even differentiating between the two.
3. Does glitterdust help against a blinking opponent? The invisibility conferred by the blink is specifically from being ethereal, not just invisible, hence Blind-fighting not helping. Would glitterdust lower blink's miss chance to 20%? It says if you have the ability to see invisible foes, but I think that more applies to having see invisibility not just the target being outlined by physical (though magical) dust, which technically would follow the target to the ethereal plane and become as unseen as any other ethereal item.
