You are capable of using the gaze attacks of a slain creature. Why should monsters have all the fun?.
Prerequisite: Spell-like abilities or ability to cast arcane or divine spells.
Benefit: If you grasp the severed head of a creature with a gaze supernatural ability (such as the petrifying gaze of a medusa) within 1 hour of the creature being slain, you may use that creature's head to employ the slain creature's gaze supernatural ability as a standard action up to three times during the next 24 hours, after that time the head is rendered useless. Retrieving the head from a slain creature is a full-round action that provokes an attack of opportunity.
