Our second entry comes from some beholder-themed spells I’ve had rattling around in my brain for some time! These could be great for beholder cultist NPCs, PCs who have a particular beholder-y theme to them, or even beholders will spellcaster levels (perish the thought!)

Beholders are CR 13, and one of the most iconic monsters in D&D – they’re a powerful foe, a match for many mid-level parties, and narratively speaking, power players. Any eye tyrant in an area tends to have some measure of control over their surroundings, be it through thralls, cultists, the weaving of its many […]

Hi folks! Yes, it’s been a whole year since my last stint on this blog, where I celebrated my favorite month, monster, and holiday with new spooky Beholder content for every day in October. And I’m doing it again! But in a more manageable way this time. Rather than every day like clockwork (hardly befitting […]

It’s the final night of my Ocular Octoberfest – and Happy Halloween to everyone still following! But really, how could an entire month bloated with beholder brainstorming be complete…without the gibbering god of the beholders herself, The Great Mother.

Considering themselves members of the upper […]

Well well! Last weekend I held a Halloween party, so I have quite a few days to make up for don’t I? Considering the pages of my previous entries, I hope this multi-page writeup of an extreme high level threat is good enough! One of my favorite parts for this month: an entire city of […]

Woof, I stayed up way too late making this one! I hope anyone who comes here enjoys it – as a special request from a friend, I wanted to do it up right. So here goes – the DIY Tyrant, a Cacodemonic Carpenter* for all of your “table saw TPK” needs! Kill your party in […]

It’s that time again – making up for lost time that is! I hope this list of beholder-related plot hooks for every tier of play makes up for a few days of silence. The end of October is getting real busy, but I’m resolved to follow through, if not always on time! (Four tiers counts […]

It’s time for another weekend catch-up! Here are a series of items that beholders may fashion and use for themselves. The Ring of Darkness Deferred is a favorite of every tactically-paranoid beholder, as the one thing they value above all is their sight, their ability to collect knowledge rapidly (and vaporize threats with their deadly […]
