I plucked some images from Google and quickly slapped it together. Once you know how to work with layers, then layer effects such as outlines, gradients and drop shadows are pretty simple. But I'm glad you like them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />[ATTACH]74668[/ATTACH]Righto.Well I think in the case of this last example, you would have to decide which of the attacks from arc 1 hit Logue, and which hit Bioran. And you would also need to decide which attacks from arc 4 hit Bioran. But this is where things get tricky, and I really wish the text in the Monster Manual was more clear on this. In this above example, can Bioran be hit by 6 eye rays? I mean, he is covered by two arcs at the same time, right? Or should the DM be rotating the arc for Bioran, so he's only in one arc? The text doesn't say that each character can only be hit three times. It just says the Beholder can only attack three times per arc. So maybe the DM simply needs to decide what the orientation of the arcs is at the start of the round of the Beholder? Once you start making eye ray attacks, that is when the orientation of the arcs for that round is decided.I'm starting to backtrack on some of what I said earlier, because you may be right. Maybe it IS allowed. But I think you want to avoid a situation where the Beholder simply changes his facing six times in the same round, so he can attack 10 times in one direction. I think the rules try to prevent that from happening.... but it is worded very poorly.</blockquote>
