[QUOTE="Krishnath, post: 1137266, member: 56"] [color=aqua]A beholder cam close or open it's central eye as a free action, thus negating the cannot cast spells into the cones area.[/color] [color=aqua]Yes, but most PC's cannot use it as an extraordinary ability, which means that it works in an Antimagic Field.[/color] [color=Aqua]yes, but it gains spellcasting in return (or at least it should :D )[/color] [color=aqua]Yes, but it should be worth at least a +3 to LA, if not a +4. Disintegrate at will is frigging good.[/color] [color=aqua]The high stats should be at least a +2 modifier to LA, not a +1.[/color] [color=Aqua]Actually, it can use armor, it's called barding, you should look it up, nothing prevents a beholder from getting tailored barding. As for shields and weapons, there are several that can be used without the need for hands, these usually have the 'dancing' ability, so your point, not mine is moot and utterly pointless.[/color] [color=aqua]Simple, two words: [i]Antimagic Cone[/i]. It stops the wizards spells dead in their tracks. Now, if it was against a LVL 30 fighter, paladin, or monk it would be another matter.[/color] [color=yellow]Edit: Fixed some templating errors.[/color] [/QUOTE]
