Ghostly

Ghostly

Found on: Ghostly items

Effect: This property makes the wielder's melee attacks able to hit Incorporeal targets. Additionally, enemies suffer a 10% miss chance against the wielder due to incorporeality. The wielder also gains +5 enhancement bonus to Hide and Move Silently skills (stacks with competence bonus).

Incorporeal miss chance and Concealment miss chance are different effects that stack.

• Ghostly + Blur grants an effective miss chance of 28% (1-0.8*0.9 = 0.28).
• Ghostly + Displacement grants 55% (1-0.5*0.9 = 0.55).

All these effects also stack with dodge.

History

Update 14 changed Ghostly to a 10% Incorporeal miss chance (stacking with Concealment, but no-longer stacking with other sources of incorporeal miss chance):

With the upcoming expansion pack, I've fixed this by changing Ghostly to a 10% Incorporeal bonus to miss chance. Incorporeal miss chance functions alongside Concealment. (For example: If you have both Blur and Ghostly, then an enemy attack would have to roll against Blur's 20%, then Ghostly's 10% individually before it can hit you.) That change will go live with the release of the expansion pack.
