[QUOTE="Shade, post: 1440212, member: 287"] Beholderkin it is, then. Here's what we've got. I've list all of the beholders as they appear in BG2 on the following table. This way we can guage the relative power levels of the new ones with the beholder and gauth. I also included some others that have already been converted for the same reasons: [b]Monster Hit Points Experience Points [/b]Eagle eye 40 6,000 Seekers 40 6,000 Sentinel 40 6,000 Vigilant 60 7,500 Gauth 81 9,000 Gorgon eye 100 12,000 Eye of the dead 109 12,000 Beholder 95 14,000 Death tyrant 115 14,000 Elder orb 130 14,000 Eye of the beholder 100 15,000 Hive mother 180 50,000 Here's the 3E/3.5 Stats for those on the table above: [b]Monster Hit Points CR[/b] Gauth 6d8+18 (45 hp) 6 Death tyrant 11d12 (71 hp) 13 Beholder 11d8+44 (93 hp) 13 Elder Orb 17d8+102 (178 hp) 19 Hive Mother 20d8+120 (204 hp) 18 It looks like the standard beholder in BG2 was pretty much on par with the 3.5 beholder. The gauth was considerably more powerful. Therefore, I suggest we use the beholder as our benchmark for estimating the power of the variants. [/QUOTE]
