SPECIAL ABILITIES

Annihilation Ray (Su) As a swift action in any round in
which it hasn’t yet used its blessing gaze or energy beam
attack, the eye of the Watcher can unleash a destructive
beam of annihilation from its central eye. When it does
so, it cannot use its blessing gaze or energy beams for
2 rounds, and takes 100 points of damage (this damage

bypasses its damage reduction and resistances). The
annihilation ray is a 200-foot-long line of energy that
inflicts 20d10 points of damage to all creatures and
objects in its path. A successful DC 31 Reflex save halves
the damage. A creature or object reduced to 0 hp or less
by the annihilation ray is slain, its remains reduced to
dust. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Blessing Gaze (Su) As a free action once every other
round, the eye of the Watcher can turn its blessing gaze
upon all creatures in a 90-foot cone. Creatures caught
in this area of effect must make a successful DC 31 Will
save or be paralyzed for 1 round and take 10d6 points of
damage from the overwhelming mental anguish of the
eye’s eldritch blessing. A creature that successfully saves
against this effect must make a second successful DC
26 Will save or be confused for 1 round. This is a mindaffecting effect. The save DC is Charisma-based, and
the secondary confusion effect has a –5 racial penalty
(already included in listed save).
Death Throes (Ex) An eye of the Watcher that is reduced
to 0 hit points as a result of activating its annihilation ray,
using its self-destructive teleportation, or due to energy
loss drops inert and dead to the ground. If reduced to
0 hit points in any other way, the eye explodes upon its
destruction, inflicting 10d6 points of force damage and
10d6 points of piercing damage to all creatures (and
objects) in a 60-foot-radius spread. A successful DC 31
Reflex save halves this damage. The save DC is Charismabased.
Degrading Armor (Ex) An unharmed eye of the Watcher
has incredibly tough armor, but as the creature takes

damage its armor begins to crack. At 75% of its maximum
hit points (278 hp for the typical eye) its natural armor
bonus drops to +20. At 50% of its maximum hit points
(185 hp for the typical eye) its natural armor bonus drops
to +15. At 25% of its maximum hit points (93 hp for the
typical eye), the eye loses its damage resistance and
physical attacks against it have their critical multiplier
increased by 1.
