And it will have contingencies in the event that someone tries. They are not likely to fail to foresee how adventurers might try to take it down. Surprise is unlikely to be an issue as it is looking everywhere all at once. Well for one thing….with up to eleven eyes it can see trouble coming from any direction. So how does a supremely intelligent creature like this protect itself from harm? Their armor class is not that difficult to hit depending upon which part of the creature you are targeting.
They do not have a huge number of hit points. Would you want to run into this guy? Self Defense for Beholders in Dungeons and DragonsĪll of that being said….Beholders do have weaknesses. All of these things make a fearsome sight to someone exploring the great depths below the earth. The big mouth with dozens of sharp teeth. They are nearly always the boss of any dungeon where they might be found. Their many eye stalks give them so much power that they can kill instantly. They are so fearsome that every adventurer fears them. It is so unique, in fact, that it is probably included in more Dungeons and Dragons artwork than any other creature. Every edition since then has included the Beholder as it has become one of the iconic monsters of the game. They were first introduced into the Dungeons and Dragons game in the Greyhawk supplement in 1975.
Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk.Beholders in Dungeons and Dragons have been there from nearly the very beginning. WotC did this turtle-folk species injustice by making them a short-lived race. At very least they should be on par with elves. *Before I leave you, I am once again here to say: Tortles should have the longest lifespans. Same as humans, but live slightly longer. In these cases, just refer to the Human’s stats on the table below. You might often see a race’s age section mention some sort of relation to human longevity.Ī certain species might “age at the same rate as humans,” or they might “mature at the same rate as humans” but live much longer or shorter. It’s a good idea to have your character be “mature,” but it’s by no means necessary. Typically, a playable race will also specify the age at which most members reach maturity. How Do I Determine the Age of My Character?Įach playable race has a general lifespan, and your age can be anything in that range. Mechanically, the only way these can really affect your characters is when you end up in very specific traps or puzzles.Ī small creature can generally do anything that a large creature can do, but it shouldn’t be able to easily reach a button that is 6 feet up a wall. This method is for coming up with a random weight, but anything within or near the range would be acceptable. Humans have a Base Height of 4’8”, a Height Modifier of 2d10, a Base Weight of 110 lb. We’ll use humans as an example (which you can see below).
#DND 5E BEHOLDER PLUS#
For weight, this is your Base Weight plus your Height Modifier multiplied by your Weight Modifier. Each uses a base number and a random number.įor height, this is your Base Height + your Height Modifier (which is in inches). How Do I Calculate My Character’s Height and Weight?įifth edition D&D uses a simple formula to calculate the height and weight of most playable races. This is important for playable races like the Goliath who are size medium but treated as size large when it comes to carrying capacity or lifting, pushing, and dragging items.
Medium or small creatures can carry a number of pounds equal to 15 times their strength score and lift double that.įor each creature size larger than medium, you double that equation (meaning a gargantuan creature can lift 240 times their strength score). Size can also affect how much a creature can lift and carry. In the table below we show how much space a creature takes up. For both medium and small creatures, this is one 5×5-foot square. One of the main mechanic points of size is how much space a creature takes on the battlefield. This means that most player characters are between 4 and 8 feet tall, along with a few other mechanics. For playable races, this is typically medium, although certain outliers do exist.
