Greenfield, tell me if I misunderstand your suppositions here in your reply. You are saying that even though the eye rays fire as a free action (though limited to firing once/round) it is not like the free action of yelling out fire, fire as you move down the hall way, all the way down the hallway? You are saying that some free actions can be done anytime but this free action only occurs if they take a standard action for combat? Did I get your assumption there correct? You also quote a normal monster can move and attack or attack them move. With flyby they can attack at anytime during their movement which is a feat the Beholder has. SO yes it can run and gun so to speak. But it gives up its second move action. The last action item you state they cannot move, attack then attack again. The assumption is that all the eyes must fire at the same time then, correct? Also I am assuming you are not counting the main eye as an attack as it presents the Antimagic ray as always on, no different than a wizard attacking while having an Antimagic field on as he moves about. You meant he could not fire more rays even if they had not fired prior? Am I correct in stating your assumptions?</blockquote>
