[QUOTE="moritheil, post: 2974157, member: 30610"] This is by far the funniest quote I have seen on the boards in a long, long time. :p I do want to point something out to all the posters who keep saying that the AMF beholder should increase EL by X amount: a beholder increases the EL as much as a creature of its CR does. Aside from that, per the rules, situational modifiers do not increase EL. DMs are urged to give out 25-30% more XP when putting the players in a nasty situation, but the Book of Traps, Challenges, and Puzzles specifically says that situations do not change EL. If that doesn't sound satisfactory, try this on for size: aside from giving it favorable encounter situations, how else would you take into account the enormous intelligence of a beholder, which presumably makes it better than normal at tactics?
