I also have to ask, since this is something that seems to be a hazy zone with most GM's I've played with. What can a character do to avoid eye-contact? Simply saying, "I avoid eye contact" seems to arbitrary and if allowed, rendered gaze attacks useless and or means the player will be less effective in attacking a creature such as a Medusa, etc. I have yet, myself, to think of a satisfactory way to deal with gaze attacks - they tend to be too powerful in my opinion.
