In a recent game, I had a GM use the Blinding Gaze from the Blindheim every turn. I tried to tell him that it would only work once a round, but it says in the description of the ability it can turn it on and off at will as a free action. I know that some abilities (at least for characters) say that if a creature passes its save it can't be affected again for 24 hours. This doesn't say that. And from a realistic standpoint, if you continually look at a bright light, it can blind you. So it makes sense that it can affect you every round.

But he was having it affect people on every players turn in the round, including the Blindheim's. By the end of the first round (and before most even had a chance to take their turn), everyone was blind except me (Dwarf Cleric-1 with Protection Domain, 18 CON, +1 Fort Trait). I had an 8 Fortitude and wasn't having any problems making the saves. But each round I had to succeed at 6 saves (thankfully I never rolled below a five) and we were eventually able to kill it.

If the ability goes off every turn, this monster is incredibly OP (it may be OP anyways). But I couldn't think where to look in the rules to prove it would only happen once a round. Is the GM right (other than in using his GM powers to do what he wants) or am I?

Got slaughtered in my debut PFS game. Kind of brutal... has this happened to anyone else? It's a bit off-putting.

With the exception of the Disguise kit, nothing at all lists makeup. If someone wants their character to have makeup, do they just need to suck it up and buy said kit? After all, a Courtesan, Geisha, or something similar wouldn't care about the fake beards, mustaches, or other things in the kit. Should I just use my GM powers and say it's half the cost of the kit and move on?
