The Way of the Ether gives you an innate ability to use the Ethereal Planes for their own good. They do not lean towards any alignment but can be used in any manner of ways. The Way of the Ether has been used to stalk through the terrain, to sneak up on unknowing enemies, and to pull life force from the Ethereal Planes. Those who study the Way of the Ether have learned that a strong mind can use the Ether, but nothing is ever guaranteed. It's abilities can be used in and out of combat for whatever you can think of.

A person can leave the Ethereal Plane by their own will on a DC 16 Wisdom check. They are otherwise stuck until they make the Wisdom check or you take them out with you.
