It doesn't matter what the action type being used is.But you can't make an Attack (Ranged) standard action without using a ranged (or thrown) weapon. That part is defined in the sections (both PHB and RC) under Ranged Attacks. No other option is available for those.The point I was trying to make before was that using a ray is like using a ranged weapon and attacking with a ranged weapon generates an AoO. It doesn't matter what action type (if any) is being used. The section in the RC (or Complete Arcane) takes about weaponlike spells and thus ties them into being like weapons for most purposes.Attacks are also not merely limited to things that require an attack (or even a full attack) action. The rules on breaking invisibility makes that point clear.So when making the attack with a ray an AoO is generated.</blockquote>
