If a cleric casts Invisibility on his or herself, then uses their Channel Energy supernatural ability to cause damage to an undead creature, does the cleric become visible?

Doesn't mesh well with this:

5. When everyone has had a turn, the next round begins with the combatant with the highest initiative, and steps 3 and 4 repeat until combat ends.

or this:

Quote:
Each round's activity begins with the character with the highest initiative result and then proceeds in order. When a character's turn comes up in the initiative sequence, that character performs his entire round's worth of actions. (For exceptions, see Attacks of Opportunity and Special Initiative Actions.)

Yeah, passages like those Ogre quoted above were what originally had me thinking my interpretation was more accurate. However, it seems the consensus on the forums favors AoO resetting after a character's action, although it doesn't appear to be explicitly stated as such in the Core rulebook or SRD.

I'm fine playing it this way, I was just curious what others had to say on the matter.

Thanks for all the feedback!


The way I've always played D&D 3.5 and subsequently Pathfinder, a new round starts at the after all of characters have acted in the previous round. If a character made an AoO without combat reflexes at any time in the round, they couldn't make another one until the next round started.

This week, one of the other players told me that wasn't quite correct. They said that in a given round, if a character took an AoO before their turn, they could take another AoO after their turn within the current round because subjectively for that character, the next round had begun.

Is this correct, and does any one know of a page in the Core Rulebook or SRD that clarifies this?
