[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6826043, member: 6669384"] Can you get Finger of Death in any arc on any round? By the book, yes. Now as much fun as this discussion is, Frostbiter, in the end you and you alone are the DM. Your interpretation of the rules can't be wrong [I]at your table[/I]. In other words you don't need our permission to have the Beholder go gattling-gun on them, spinning in place and using all of its attacks at the same time on the same people.. That is, after all, what your "Beholder's point of view" argument pretty much allows. I've been playing a long time, and in all that time I've never seen a DM be wrong. I have gotten up and walked out on DMs who abused the rules because "winning" was more important to them than the fun of the group, but I've never seen a DM be wrong. So the real question is, I suppose, if you were a player and a DM did this to your character, would you feel like you were being abused? Like the DM was cheating? If you wouldn't like it done to you, don't do it to them. [/QUOTE]
