Beholder 5e
Would be useful until it managed to snap out of it.Īn insect plague to obscure it's vision? Highly contextual, and would hit anyone in melee range of the creature.Ī Wall of Stone to protect magic users from the anti magic cone? IIRC the beholder has to be looking at you, so popping out to blast a spell then retreating back to cover could work. Contagion would keep going, but it would take 3-5 turns to set in, and thats IF the beholder fails its saves.Īnother approach could be Blindness/Deafness? Not sure how this affects the anti-magic field, but perhaps it renders the eye stalks useless since it cannot see. But if I understand correctly, one look from the beholder and my Curse would drop immediately as it's a concentration spell. I was thinking Bestow Curse, give it disadvantage on Con saves, then follow up with Contagion, eventually giving it the Slimy Doom effect. I rolled a lvl 10 death cleric, and was wondering if there were any good tactics against beholders? Our defeat was the product of horrendous consecutive rolls, so I'm aware luck plays a big role in these damned saving throws.
Those of us who were petrified rolled new characters, with the premise we may be going for a round 2 to get our characters back eventually. Our tanks have been turned to stone, and the rest of the party dispersed to different places. Our party has recently suffered a harsh butt kicking at the hands of an eye tyrant.
