Stealth, Steal and attacks of opportunity

[willhob]

First of all, does steal "break" stealth? Would it break invisibility?

Regarding the attack of opportunity, can someone get an attack of opportunity against a stealthed or invisible character?

1) Yes.

2) Yes.

3) No, flat-footed creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity.

Seems legit, seems combat maneuvers are technically an attack roll. Would Steal as a maneuver break Greater Invisibility?

I read in the SRD that targets are considered to be denied their Dexterity bonus to AC against stealthing or invisible characters but that they are not considered flat-footed. Is this correct?

AoOs happen prior to the action. Prior to the action, you are invisible/stealthed.

No attack breaks Greater Invisibility. Combat Maneuvers are attacks, and auto-succeed on a natural 20.
