Blink and Blind-Fight


Rules Questions


Although you are only partially visible, you are not considered invisible and targets retain their Dexterity bonus to AC against your attacks. You do receive a +2 bonus on attack rolls made against enemies that cannot see invisible creatures.
Do I receive +2 against Blind-Fight if feat read the attacker doesn’t get the usual +2 bonus for being invisible. The invisible attacker’s bonuses do still apply for ranged attacks, however.


Blind-Fight outright states it is of no use against a subject of the Blink spell. So you don't even get the ability to reroll concealment. It doesn't help here.


It's weird that seeing invisible helps against blinking foes, but Blind-Fight does not. However, as written Blind-Fight has completely no benefit against a blinking creature, as Saethori said.

Blink quickly teleports you to the ethereal plane and back. See invisibility can see ethereal creatures. So with see invisibility. you can still continuously see the blinking creature. But the blinking creature is still not in the material plane part of the time, which is why there is still a (smaller than normal) miss chance.

Blind Fight doesn't help because part of the time the blinking target is literally on another plane, and there would be nothing for blind-fight to help against.

Would Blind-Fight Assist with my miss chance if i am the subject of blink?


No as well, you aren't losing sight of your target, you are uncontrollably being shifted to another plane of existence. You have zero control over this ability and it is too foreign to be predictable.

A counterexample would be blink dogs, which do control their blinking and are used to it to be able to predict and time their attacks around the blink, thus ignoring the normal miss chance on the user.
