[QUOTE="RedShirtNo5.1, post: 5306043, member: 80037"] It's the entire text of the SRD about gaze attacks. And I think the flavor text corresponds to it. "The medusa looks around, throwing dangerous glances everywhere" = "Each character within range of a gaze attack must attempt a saving throw" "and focusing its eyes on specific victims." = "A creature with a gaze attack can actively attempt to use its gaze as an attack action." "Lidda closes her eyes and tries to aim her arrows by ear." = "An opponent can shut his eyes, turn his back on the creature, or wear a blindfold. In these cases, the opponent does not need to make a saving throw. The creature with the gaze attack gains total concealment relative to the opponent." "Jozan averts his eyes but tries to watch the creature with peripheral vision so he knows where to project his searing light spell." = "An opponent can avert his eyes from the creature’s face, looking at the creature’s body, watching its shadow, or tracking the creature in a reflective surface." "Tordek trusts fate and looks the thing in the eye as he swings his mighty axe. Magic washes through him and he shrugs it off." = "a Fortitude or Will save" "Jozan, however, accidently catches the thing's eye," = "Each round, the opponent has a 50% chance of not having to make a saving throw." "and he's not strong enough to resist. His body hardens and turns to stone." = "a Fortitude or Will save" But enough side tracking. As MrMyth said, General isn't the place for a rule debate. Post a rule question in the Legacy Discussion and we could continue the rule debate there. [/QUOTE]
