![]() ![]() Since beholders will be frequently using their own AMFs, your magic will be at least partially negated anyway. It provides solid protection against eyebeams. If ranged fire can spike down a beholder, then you could create a window in AMF coverage for casters to exploit.Ĭonsider using an Antimagic Field of your own. Just get the other characters to chip in via their own bows, javelins, crossbows, acid/alchemical fire, etc. Since you already have a dedicated archer, ranged fire ought to be pretty good. You can go on the cheap for these weapons, since magical bonuses will likely be ineffective anyway. Make sure everybody has some decent ranged attack. Massed archery can be effective against beholders, since their AC and HP are not so great. Similarly, use of antimagic as a multiplier for mundane (at least once triggered, disintegration could be used to set off a trap) hazards can be bad news. However, if the beholders have allies that aren't so dependent on magic (like giants), then their antimagic is enough of a killer all by itself - they won't need to drop the suppression to use their eyebeams. Beholders turn off their own good attacks if they use their Antimagic. I'm also trying to stock up on alchemical stuff and/or magical, because they are nonmagical, open to any suggestions on what to put on the priority list. ![]() I have rolled a 21 in knowledge (arcana) to find out data and we've seen the eye stalks, anti-magic field, flight and some beholder varients in action ![]() We are trying to keep orc loses to a minimum in order to avoid setting off a major war between rival kingdoms. they also have charmed a great deal of orcs to be alive. We've already seen beholders use their eyestocks to "make new tunnels" and made a bridge that they destroyed when anything tried to cross it. The psion has been feeling kinda useless due to all the anti-magic fields (we're using magic and psionics are interchangable), so I'm open to any suggestions to make him feel more useful. Going to tie them together using my rope use and drop them on the "big targets. I've already purchased a large number of glass vials and have been "harvesting" stomach acid from dead beholder o be used as projectiles. One thing I'm bouncing about is the following. I would like any and all ideas on how we can increase our chances of survival and/or success. Our party level is about 12th level and consists of the following.Ī young adamantine dragon (custom build, based on silver in that dragon magazine, but has a breath weapons of sonic cone and random metal)Ī dragon wrought kobold ranger with wings and one level of sorceror. Virtually guarenteed to have a cr 16 encounter at the end of the dungeon with hivemothers and other specialized beholders a plenty. Our party is about to have one heck of a slobberknocker of a fight by invading a beholder level. ![]()
