So lemme type out loud here (it's what I do).That means that my initial thought that it would be strange that the cyclops could use its stare only as a separate action doesn't really apply in 5E. Unless it would be something like an Attack of Opportunity, the opportunity being that a creature moves within range? Probably a bad example, but hey, just thinking.So that means that having the glare as part of a Multiattack always allows the cyclops to use it against any opponent it can see within range. Which would also be true if we'd make it a Bonus Action.Soooooo, in essence, since a combat round in 5E is only 6 seconds and since it would probably affect the cyclops' attacks if it would be using its stare against another creature than the ones it is fighting, I'd favor any ruling that would say that it can only use its stare as its only Action in a round.However, I think we've already covered this upthread in:So I guess it's just a question of how to phrase it?Then I'd rather prefer it as a Bonus Action, as per your example:And:</blockquote>
