Homebrew Gazer Species Details
On the rare occasions when a beholder dreams of beholders and imagines them in different forms, the power of the beholder's mind changes reality itself to accommodate for these dreams, creating humanoids known as gazers, the only known humanoid member of the beholder-kin. Having a single main eye as well as many eye-stalks just like their horrific parent, and most sharing the same arrogance with their own illusions of grandeur.
Gazer Traits
"Beholders cannot compare to my beauty, it's physically impossible!"Multisight
You have proficiency in Perception.
Eye Rays
Each time you finish a long rest, you gain the ability to cast cantrips and spells randomly determined from a short list. At 1st level, you can cast a cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can also cast a 1st-level spell. At 5th level, you can cast a 2nd-level spell. You can cast a spell gained from this trait only once until you complete your next long rest. You can cast a cantrip gained from this trait at will, as normal. At the end of each long rest, you lose the cantrips and spells previously granted by this feature, even if you did not cast them. You replace those cantrips and spells by rolling for new ones on the Eye Rays table. Roll separately for each cantrip and spell. Your choice of your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
*when cast in this way a beam of light is connected to one of your eye-stalks and to whatever is affected by this spell

Age
Gazers pop into existence being fully mature, and age at extremely slow rates, most of them living several centuries to even a millennia.
Size
Humans vary widely in height and build, from barely 5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your position in that range, your size is Medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision
Your eye and eye-stalks are well-adapted to sight in most conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common, Deep Speech, and Undercommon. Deep Speech is an ancient guttural language, full of harsh sounds that sound like creatures dying in painful ways, while Undercommon is a language spoke by most creatures in the Underdark, which uses the Elvish script.
Anti-Magic Cone
When you reach 3rd level you can cast dispel magic once, and it recharges after a long rest. When cast in this way, it only automatically dispels spells of spells levels of half of your proficiency bonus. Your choice of your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
