Question: Do the spells 'ethereal jaunt' and 'etherealness' work on other planes than the Prime Material? I know that the Ethereal Plane is "coterminous"--or something--to the Prime Material, but what about the other planes (say, the Nine Hells)?

No, the ethereal plane is only coterminous with the material plane, so you cannot access it directly from the outer planes.
In 2e the ethereal plane linked to the elemental (or inner planes), so you would have been able to use those spells (or similar effects) to travel between the inner planes as well, but 3e changed the rules. |

For some odd reason, I'm thinking that 3e made all planes have a separate ethereal plane to allow for incorporeal creatures, but none of those ethereals connect.
Mind you, my MotP is upstairs & I'm just about to get ready for work, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Your thinking of the astrals. :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
