R.M.G.C.L.F. 04-03-04, 06:26 AM	A creature has its gaze attack as a normal free action thing so that it automatically works every round. If the creature wants to inflict even more harm, it can use it as a standard action.

However, in addition to the creature using a standard action to use its gaze attack . . . the creature can use its gaze attack as a free action on any target which views it (as in meets its gaze). For instance, if a target is openly viewing the creature with the gaze attack (being in combat with it) it must make a save every round against the gaze attack for possibly meeting the creature's gaze, as does any other target viewing the creature. These are free actions for the creature and the creature still has its standard action (to use its gaze attack, melee attack, etc.) There are situational modifiers to the save, like cover, averting one's eyes, etc.
