Dragon totems actions per round?

How many attacks are the dragon totems in AoA #2 supposed to have? Our GM is blindinding, confusing, and dominating as many as three people each round from long range, usualy with a big guardian monster to take advantage. Makes these encounters absolutely brutal, to the point where I'm wondering if we're doing something wrong.

Each dragon pillar should have one attack, which varies depending on its color. Also, the stat block explicity states it gets one action. So only one target each round. I think your GM is reading the stat block incorrectly.

relevant stat block info:
Routine (1 action) On its initiative, the dragon pillar fires an eye beam at the closest target within [number] feet

If your GM is unpersuaded, ask him to compare the dragon pillar statblock to the hazard statblock located on page 61. The hazard on page 61 gets two actions, with each attack being one action, and this is also explicitly stated.


We were getting triple-tapped by all of those too. It was hideous. We ended up piling go-faster buffs onto our swashbuckler so she could sprint in and try for the first-round disable and the two times that didn't work were effing misery.
