Talk:Beholder

Why have a bestiary when you just look up monsters in the compendium? I rather thought this was strongly frowned upon.

Noah: It is. To the extent, however, that Hal likely tailors TSR monsters to the realm, and also creates his own from whole cloth, we still need a bestiary. Besides, it is nobody's fault that Chris has the entire monster manual committed to memory.

tcm: yeah, but he probably shouldn't write it down. only what your characters know, kids.

Noah: It's cool, at least in this instance. He legend lored it.

tcm: well why didn't you say so? that's totally okay.

Chris: Besides, all of that stuff (other than incredibly evil) was observed by our characters. Or was implicit (the marked similarity between the Eye Of The Deep and the Spectator).

Halifax: Of course, the Eye of the Deep you guys fought lacked pincers...

Noah: Not that it would have had a chance to use them anyway.

Chris: Yeah, the only thing that thing lacked was a snowball's chance in hell...am I right? Am I right? High fives all around.
