Does an attack make invisiblity fall before the attack lands?

[Grayfeather]

My GM is under the impression that invisibility (per the spell) who fall and no count before landing. For example if a rogue was invisible per the spell he would no be able to use it to make a sneak attack because the spell would drop immediately on trying. Whats the ruling on this?

It drops after the attack. Invisibility is a tried an true method for sneak attacking.

Erm... yeah, Cainus has it correct. I'd just add that if you couldn't ever land an attack with invisibility active, why would there be a bonus to attacking due to being invisible?

An attack causes invisibility to drop. Prior to the attack, you have not attacked.

The intent to attack is not an attack.

To expand on this a bit: Invisibility allows you to get one sneak attack. If you have iterative attacks, the spell does fail after the first hit thus only the first will qualify.
