The section you quoted from is the attack section and it's written with the assumption that the invisible attacker can't be seen by it's attacker. Re-read the first paragraph of the section:Technically, when you cast the See Invisibility spell "such creatures are visible to you as translucent shapes..." So it would be possible that translucent eyes don't allow you to make gaze attacks. True Seeing says that invisible creatures appear normal, so gaze attacks are possible. I think part of the reason it's written that way is because of the way the core books are structured: conditions are generally handled under entries for that condition and assume that no exceptions apply. Exceptions are handled under their individual exception entries. This is particularly true of spells and feats. Notice that the section in the previews mentions (briefly) about senses like scent, blidfight, and blindsense. It makes no mention of True Seeing or See Invisibility. What those spells do is under the spell descriptions of those spells, not under the rules for invisibility.I think this is the major problem with 3.5. The rules and the exceptions are divorced from each other. This can make it difficult to find what your looking when planing a game or understand fully how something works.</blockquote>
