Kuo-Toa Whips - Lightning Bolt


3.5/d20/OGL


Cited below are the rules for the Kuo-Toa Whip's lightning bolt ability.

"Lightning Bolt (Su): Two or more kuo-toa clerics (whips) operating together can generate a stroke of lightning every 1d4 rounds. The whips must join hands to launch the bolt but need only remain within 30 feet of one another while it builds. The resulting lightning bolt deals 1d6 points of damage per whip, but a successful Reflex save halves this amount (DC 11 + highest Wisdom modifier among the participating whips + number of whips)."

My question is:
Does this count as a standard action for ALL Kuo-toas involved?
Or can they each release their own lightning bolt?
Or does one Kuo-toa release the bolt, while the others are free to take their own standard actions?

It seems pretty weak if it counts as a standard action for all of them.

The way I've always run it was that it took an action from each.
