floating eye

--The Roguelet's ABC

• Ranged attacks, such as force bolt, arrows, or just throwing rocks will not result in paralysis
• Wearing a ring of free action will protect from paralysis. "You stiffen momentarily under the floating eye's gaze!"
• Being blind will protect from the floating eye's attack
• Having reflection will protect, as well. "The floating eye's gaze is relected by your foo!"
• Making the floating eye invisible will make its attack useless, unless you have see invisible
• Blinding the eye will prevent it from attacking you, as well

Floating eye meat is much sought after, as it grants intrinsic telepathy to anyone who eats it. Remember: When offered a melee attack upon a floating eye, just say no.
