Touching or Bumping into the Invisible

[Patryn of Elvenshae]

No problem! It's what we're here for.

Anybody else feel this should draw an AoO?

If you're using your hands, yes (barring special circumstances). With a weapon, no. That's according to the rules for touch attacks.

Nope, no AoO. I mean after all, who's going to go flailing about with the arms as their action for the round, when they can't do anything about it even if they find the guy since they've used their standard action already?

I don't link this particular rule in 3.5E. It's also a bit of a pain when you consider a creature with reach that's invisible, or a creature with multiple limbs such as tentacles.
