At least the beholder can't attack them with its eye rays if it wants to stop them using their spells.Your average greatsword fighter is probably going to fare worse to be frank, since they don't have potential escape options in the shape of spells. The beholder is also freer to zap them since it doesn't need to shut down the fighter's magic quite so much.And just think about the monster you had to pick. Fighters are not significantly better than casters when it comes to saves. Everyone gets a good one and a bad one. Is carrying a sword and a longbow better than carrying just a sword?Even if most of the time you fight creatures who engage in melee? Then your ability check probably wouldn't have done it either. If it could have, at least the charm would have given you advantage on the check, and prevented the guard from attacking you if you failed.</blockquote>
