accepted  Yes a character can attack while insubstantial(DDI).
There are no limits on the type of attack.  The Rules Compendium
p226 notes that creatures who are insubstantial take half damage
from all attacks. (This also includes ongoing damage). There are
no other restrictions or limitations placed on the Insubstantial
creature.  Compare this to Gaseous Form(DDI). A monster in
gaseous form is insubstantial AND cannot make attacks unless
specifically noted.  share|improve this answer add comment  Your
