2023年10月11日 · The beholder was the original conception of Terry Kuntz, Rob's brother, a regular in the early days of my campaign. I developed it a bit, but it's essentially his work [ENWorld Q&A #378] Terry Kuntz was the primary creator of the Beholder, why I have no idea, except maybe he was a glutton for havng his PC punished.

2017年11月6日 · A Beholder doesn't have to be approaching old age to start fretting about death. As a species, they are exceedingly paranoid and try to plan for every possible scenario. If one starts obsessing over being attacked by rivals or adventurers or other such things, it may start trying to plan for the old Thanatos Gambit of 'What do I do to still win ...

2015年2月22日 · The ocular mailman: a fully cheesed Beholder Wannabe. Stepping further away from your character here, this is a direct-damage sorcerer build themed after a beholder. We're straying rather far from a simple rebuild here, but the arts of aberrations can be subtle indeed.

2022年11月7日 · I've shown this link to the Beholder's player but he says that the Forcecage description says "a forcecage resists dispel magic", but the Beholder's Antimagic Cone is not "Dispell Magic", so wherever the Beholder points with his Antimagic Cone, all Forcecages and Walls of Force WILL be supressed. I really don't see what's wrong with this logic ...

2015年4月30日 · Firstly, it seems that when a Beholder sleeps, only their main eye closes and the rest blink intermittently, allowing the Beholder to maintain awareness. Because Beholders are highly intelligent and it seems that levitation is their natural form of movement, it would make sense that a Beholder would be able to use its levitation while sleeping.

2017年4月24日 · A beholder can shift its targets after its first or second rays. For example, if a beholder intends to shoot charm, slowing and sleep rays at a ranger, and the ranger succumbs to the charm, the beholder could use its remaining rays against other targets.

2018年10月15日 · The beholder shoots three of the following magical eye rays at random (reroll duplicates), choosing one to three targets it can see within 120 feet of it: Charm Ray. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by the beholder for 1 hour, or until the beholder harms the creature.

2019年6月19日 · From the beholder: The beholder shoots three of the following magical eye rays at random... All effects of the eye rays are magical, so they would be suppressed. To be clear, "suppressed" in this context means that those effects disappear inside the area of effect, but aren't removed. They will return as soon as the area is left.

It's a great idea, and turns the tables on the Beholder extremely well. You might have some trouble targeting the Beholder from within the cloud yourself, but characters normally know where other creatures are during combat (the fact that the Beholder hovers may complicate this, but probably not unless the Beholder takes the Hide action).

2021年2月4日 · The beholder's central eye creates an area of antimagic, as in the antimagic field spell, in a 150-foot cone. But unfortunately, this doesn't mean that what the Beholder is doing is a spell nor that it follows all the rules for spells.
