[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 3147070, member: 18280"] What is? I'm still waiting for the makeover of the housecat, which obviously is too bland for its CR...... It also removed the ability to face a beholder from the front, so as to make it choose either to not use its anti-magic, or not use its other eyestalks. That said, the beholder is a pretty silly monster anyway (IMHO at least). The Spelljammer version of beholders was my favourite (and the one I used in the Dungeon of Thale, which had a beholder civilization). This is a monster for which additional permutations are a boon; the Mearls beholder could exist side-by-side with the SRD one. I am not opposed to monster makeovers, so long as: (1) The theme, feel, and mythology of the monster are not botched, (2) The monster is not nerfed, and (3) The makeover doesn't create new weird effect like your equipment "healing" damage. Actually, (2) doesn't bother me as much as (1) and (3). Therefore, I can live with the Mearls beholder quite easily, and certainly easier than the other makeovers. RC RC [/QUOTE]
