EYE OF BEHOLDER 2 GUIDE FULL
A Beholder knows to stay out of range of the platemail-clad murder machine with a greatsword running at them at full sprint they know to float up close to the ceiling and keep their anti-magic cone pointed at any spellcaster in the vicinity.īecause a Beholder randomly shoots three of its 10 eye rays per round, its options for targeting specific enemies are somewhat limited, but by being mindful of the different saving throws that each ray forces you can decide where to put them for maximum effect - like forcing a wizard to make a Strength save against Telekinetic ray, or the party paladin to try and make a Wisdom save against a Charm Ray.
On a failed save, the creature begins to turn to stone and is restrained. The targeted creature must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. This ray has no effect on constructs and undead. The target awakens if it takes damage or another creature takes an action to wake it. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or fall asleep and remain unconscious for 1 minute.
The beholder can also exert fine control on objects with this ray, such as manipulating a simple tool or opening a door or a container. If the target is an object weighing 300 pounds or less that isn’t being worn or carried, it is moved up to 30 ft. It is restrained by the ray’s telekinetic grip until the start of the beholder’s next turn or until the beholder is incapacitated. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 16 Strength saving throw or the beholder moves it up to 30 ft. The targeted creature must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw, taking 36 (8d8) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. In addition, the creature can’t take reactions, and it can take either an action or a bonus action on its turn, not both. On a failed save, the target’s speed is halved for 1 minute. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute. 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. The beholder shoots three of the following magical eye rays at random (reroll duplicates), choosing one to three targets it can see within 120 ft.
Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target.
