[QUOTE="azhrei_fje, post: 2444512, member: 12966"] Oh. I wasn't trying to keep the players inside the cone, I was trying to protect the beholder from the effects of spells cast by the players. I'm assuming that a beholder will have low-level minions to act as fighters, say a bunch of kobolds or something (pick the cannon fodder of the week). The beholder uses the AMF ray and the kobolds shoot their ranged weapons (the party gets no magical enhancements to AC including deflection or natural armor, and no magical enhancements to retaliatory attacks). The beholder doesn't want to get zapped with a fireball or similar spell that is placed behind it, so it moves 5' forward (after the area of the AMF ray is established) and it can't be affected. Of course, if AMF blocks line of effect, the whole thing is likely moot unless the spellcaster is in a spot that doesn't cross the field covered by the ray. [/QUOTE]
