[QUOTE="Arnwyn, post: 2985919, member: 7701"] That's exactly what I'm wondering. So what have we got, here? Can a beholder rotate in place and fire all (some?) of it's eye beams in the same cardinal direction, or not? Let's say a beholder and the PCs are 60' apart. The beholder currently has it's main anti-magic eye facing (arrgh! "facing"!) the PCs. On it's initiative, can it rotate 90 degrees right (5' of movement according to it's maneuverability) and fire 3 eye beams at the PCs (free action), then rotate another 90 degrees right (another 5', the central eye is now directly opposite of the PCs) and fire another 3 eye beams (again, a free action), rotate another 90 degrees (5' again, for a running total of 15' movement so far) and fire 3 more eye beams, and then end it's turn with a final 90 degrees of movement (5' for a total of 20' of movement, and it's now back to "facing" the PCs with it's central eye)? Or what? In melee, would that rotation (if it can even be done) cause AoOs? Gah. *sob* [/QUOTE]
