D&D 5E Who's That Beholder?

You totally spoiled that adventure, I was totally going to play it sometime!

I have to wonder how many people, playing the original, as written, even made it that far.

So don't worry about it...

You know that "18" is not actually Acererak, right?


He is tricky that way.

Sure, but isn't it supposed to be a representation of what he used to look like?

OK: spoilers:

[sblock] Maybe, maybe not. In the adventure, you are supposed to think that it is him, its not, its a "magically prepared zombie". Note that the adventure has at least 3 psych out pics, all different. None the demi lich[/sblock]

Technically, it's just supposed to look like what the PCs expect to find.

All I know is....the beholder looks awesome!!

Acerak looks washed out. The fire giant....frankly for some reason whenever I look at the picture I can't even tell its a fire giant.

But the monster manual pic has got me hooked!

Nailed it.

Back to Acererak.

The necklace is a clue. Its a representation of this:

But again, with him, seeing is not believing.

All beholders look the same to me anyway.
