Antimagic field and ethereal jaunt

[tiarakia]

Hi,
I explain you the situation.

I fought in a duel against another player. I'm a wizard but i fight with guns.
The other player cast an antimagic field to block my spells. I cast ethereal jaunt. So i and my equipement are ethereal during the duration of spell.

The next turn while he searched me I decided to shoot on him.

My bullet begin into ethereal plan and when it is within antimagic field it become back in material plan and can hit him.

At the end, the other player disagreed with me because in the text of spell. It's written "An ethereal creature can’t attack material creatures, and spells you cast while ethereal affect only other ethereal things"
He considers it's forbidden to take him as a target, I am forbidden to attack him.

And you what do you think about the situation.

[tiarakia]

I specify one thing.
In the text of ethereal jaunt it's written "Force effects and abjurations affect an ethereal creature normally"
And antimagic field is abjuration.

I'm not an english man I'm really sorry if my english is not correct.

I would like to know if the " can't attack" written in the spell corresponds to a ban of spell or a inability of ethereal form (that can be to cancel by antimagic field).

Complicated.

Ethereal jaunt say nothing of what happen when you drop up something in the ethereal plane. It return immediately, at the end of the spell or it stay ethereal?
And similarly it don't say if you can take something that is ethereal and bring it back to the material plane when the spell end.
I think you can retrieve items that are on the ethereal plane and that where originally coming from the material plane, but you can't take items that originate from the ethereal materials back with you.

Antimagic field don't say anything about what it do to ethereal creatures, so probably it do nothing to them.
Then there is the spell that keep you ethereal. That will be suppressed and if you enter the area of effect you will become material again as Antimagic field extent in the ethereal plane.

Keeping the above in mind I would say that the bullet will drop in the material plane when it enter the area of effect of the Antimagic field. I would assign you a 20% miss chance as you see things in the material plane as "gray and insubstantial."
But it is an opinion, not a clear rule interaction. The best thing is to ask your GM.

My GM didn't know what to do. We are all looking for an answer.

So for you, I'm allowed to shoot on the square where is the other player. the spell doesn't forbid me.

I agree with you it's complicated because there isn't accurancy.
Thx for your answer.
