Message: <blockquote data-quote="Garnfellow" data-source="post: 3169839" data-attributes="member: 1223">Applying the MakeoverOut of curiosity, I wanted to look at a beholder statblock with Mearls' changes incorporated. No one seems to like barrage, so I've left that ability out. This is what I've got:BEHOLDER ___________ CR 13LE Large aberrationInit +6; Senses all-around vision, darkvision 60 ft; Listen +18, Spot +22Languages Beholder, Undercommon------AC 26, touch 11, flat-footed 24hp 93 (11 HD)Fort +9, Ref +5, Will +11------ Spd 5 ft, fly 20 ft (good); Flyby AttackMelee bite +7 (2d4)Space 10 ft; Reach 5 ftBase Atk +8; Grp +12Atk Options antimagic eye (DC 22)Special Actions eye rays (+9 ranged touch, DC 21)------ Abilities Str 10, Dex 14, Con 18, Int 17, Wis 15, Cha 15SQ flyFeats Alertness, Flyby Attack, Improved Initiative, Iron WillSkills Hide +12, Listen +18, Search +21, Spot +22------ All-Around Vision (Ex) Beholders are exceptionally alert and circumspect. Their many eyes give them a +4 racial bonus to Spot and Search checks, and they can’t be flanked.Antimagic Eye (Su) The beholder can focus its large, central eye on an area, disrupting all spellcasting that takes place there. As a swift action, the beholder creates a 60 foot cone. Anyone in this area who attempts to cast a spell must make a caster level check (DC 22) to successfully complete the spell. This DC is Intelligence based and includes a +4 racial bonus.Eye Rays (Su) Each of a beholder's ten eye stalks can produce a ray of magical energy. As a standard action, a beholder can produce one ray from each eyestalk. It can target up to three rays at a single target. Each ray aimed at a specific target must have a different effect, but a beholder can use the same ability twice per round. Each eye’s effect resembles a spell (caster level 13th) but follows the rules for a ray. All rays have a range of 150 feet and a save DC of 21. The save DC is Charisma-based and includes a +4 racial bonus.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blast Ray: This eye ray inflicts 6d6 energy damage, no saving throw. The beholder can choose the ray's energy type. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Charm Person: The target must succeed at a Will save or be affected as though by the spell. Beholders use this ray to confuse the opposition, usually employing it early in a fight. The beholder generally instructs a charmed target to either restrain a comrade or stand aside. The beholder can also this ray to stun a target with a failed Will save.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Disintegrate: The target must succeed at a Fortitude save or be affected as though by the spell. The beholder likes to use this ray on any foe it considers a real threat. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Slow: This works like the spell, except that it affects one creature. The target must make a Will save to resist. Beholders often use this ray against the same creature targeted by their disintegrate rays. If one of the former rays fails to eliminate the foe, this ray might at least hamper it. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Telekinesis: A beholder can use this ray to move a creature up to 20 feet; a Reflex save negates this movement. </li> </ul>Flight (Ex) A beholder’s body is naturally buoyant. This buoyancy allows it to fly as the spell, as a free action, at a speed of 20 feet. This buoyancy also grants it a permanent feather fall effect with personal range.</blockquote>
