If PDFs are the goal, don't underestimate high pixel density as something you'll want. It tends to be one of the things sacrificed in lower cost models. The iPad's Retina display (and, I think, the Nexus 10) have densities that make them indistinguishable from paper at reading distances. This...

Playtest is finished (took a while). Play bears out many of ruemere's concerns. I have revised as a result: o Changed caster level to 19th. o Allowed the sustained barrage ability to use four rays as immediate actions. I'm tempted to just change rays to use free actions, giving the beholder an...

Even so, I'm keeping it at 13th level casting. Doing 91hp twice each round (and then blasting for a bit twice more) will have to do. With 19HD (and a +4 Charisma bonus from a charisma bump), the DC becomes DC 27. A 13th level caster will make that 35% of the time. That doesn't shut them down as...

One fix for this is to give the beholder the recommended number of hit dice (19 vs. 11). By default, this would make its caster level 19, and its effects based on caster level fairly insane (disintegrate damage would become 38d6, for example). So, cranking the HD would probably need to be...
