Eye beams...eye blasts..."lazer" vision etc.


Advice


I've noticed a surprising lack of death rays coming out of your eyes options.

In fact I haven't been able to find any options for attacks coming from the eyes.

So any ray, blast, beam etc. coming from the eyes I would like to know about. Thanks. :)

There's Burning Gaze, I'm sure there are others spells like it. It's not a ray spell but it's an attack coming from the eyes.

I assume there are at least some ray spells that don't specify that they come from your fingers, so they could come from your eyes.


Thanks. Looking for for an actual ray than a gaze. :)


If they had made eye lazers... maybe we would have gotten a Beholder in Pathfinder.

There's the demon construct Retriever that gets to shoot laser beams from its eyes as a free action.


There's a ridiculously overpriced metamagic feat, Yai-mimic spell. Out of your third eye is still out of an eye, right?

There's plenty of rays which don't specify where they come from. I don't see any reason why scorching ray must come from your hand, for example. If there is such a reason hidden somewhere then stylized spell/stylized spontaneity can probably bypass it.


Rays are hard. I know there were a couple in 1e/2e that never made it to the d20 system. Other than that there's Eyebite which can be fluffed into a beam attack, but it has sucked since 3.0 rolled around - house rule in the 2e version if you can.


Thanks. :)


I don't know how I forgot about the Jabbawock... I litetally just had my table fight one. Lol.

Eye Rays (Su)
The jabberwock can project beams of fire from its eyes as a ranged touch attack as a standard action, with a range increment of 60 feet. It projects two beams, and can target different creatures with these beams if it wishes as long as both targets are within 30 feet of each other. A creature that takes damage from an eye beam suffers burn.


Sorry I didn't make it clear I was going for pc options. Doh!!!

It's 3pp, but Vigilantes of Skybourne has a bunch of mutation talents for the vigilante, including an ocular blast power.


Thanks. We don't use 3pp.

I think I'm the only one in our group 5hat has any 3pp.

You can have a Holy Symbol Tattoo anywhere on your body, including tattooed into your eyes (real-life example), and then use Symbolic Mastery to shoot divine rays from it.

Quote:
You choose the type of damage dealt by your symbolic bolt each time you use this feat from those offered by the cleric domains granted by the deity whose holy symbol you use. The types of damage (and the cleric domains that grant them) are acid (Earth, Magic, Rune), cold (Darkness, Magic, Rune, Void, Water, Weather), electricity (Air, Magic, Rune, Weather), fire (Destruction, Fire, Magic, Rune), negative energy (Death, Destruction, Void), positive energy (Glory, Healing, Repose, Sun), sonic (Magic, Rune, Weather), and untyped (any).

The deities Narakaas and Chamiaholom qualify for all energy types.


Well done. I think that is about as close as we're gonna get.

I should add that you can get Holy Tattoos without the trait.

Thanks Theaitetos. :)

Thanks to everyone who responded. Much appreciated all. :)

Chu Ye Enforcer Vigilante, can launch a beam of fire from the eye as a ranged touch attack


Good find as well. That being said I was...am looking for out of the eyes. I guess I should have stated at the start I got a bit inspired by Darkseid's daughter Grail. Just liked the idea of someone with shooty laser eyes. :)

Thanks though. :)

Well it depends on the DM... but... there is always "reskinning" an effect to do what u want.

You "could" if your DM allows reskin kinetic blasts to shoot from your eyes... I know in the description it says a "Free hand to aim" but a reasonable DM would allow it to be eye blasts, but might maybe say.. you can't wear gooogles/glasses/eyewear or need special eyewear (aka. Cyclops) to use.

As long as it is not hampering/changing the game it could be a reasonable solution


Any attack or spell that doesnt specify where it comes from can be flavoured as coming out of your eyes if you want to. And even the ones that do I'm pretty sure most DMs wouldn't care if you re-flavour them as eye lazers.

Any DM that won't allow your scorching ray spell to look like eye lasers is no DM I'd want to play with.


Let's not get too carried away with flavor, or we'll end up with Air kineticist farts...
