Pixie Invisibility

[vip00]

A quick opinion question for the community:

A pixie's invisbility (not natural invisibility) reads: A pixie remains invisible even when it attacks. This ability is constant, but the pixie can suppress or resume it as a free action.

Can it also remain invisible when it uses its spell-like abilities? Or is attacking a special exception in this case? To me it doesn't make a lot of sense to retain invisibility when attacking but not when using SLAs, but RAW appear to imply that scenario.

What part of it seems to imply that to you?

The text of the invisibility spell explains the meaning of "attacks" in this context; it's any attack, not an 'attack with a weapon' as you seem to perceive.

The spell ends if the subject attacks any creature. For purposes of this spell, an attack includes any spell targeting a foe or whose area or effect includes a foe. Exactly who is a foe depends on the invisible character's perceptions. Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the spell. Causing harm indirectly is not an attack. Thus, an invisible being can open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, summon monsters and have them attack, cut the ropes holding a rope bridge while enemies are on the bridge, remotely trigger traps, open a portcullis to release attack dogs, and so forth. If the subject attacks directly, however, it immediately becomes visible along with all its gear.

invisibility itself only ever breaks if you attack anyways...that also counts if you cast a spell that targets someone...in the case of the pixie its basically under "greater invisibility" anytime it wants as a free action.

so to answer your questions in order...yes it can, and attacking (targeting) is always the "special exception" in the case of invisibility.
