The beholder regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. The beholder is the stuff of nightmare. This creature, also called the sphere of many eyes or the eye tyrant , appears as a large orb dominated by a central eye and a large toothy maw, has 10 smaller eyes on stalks sprouting from the top of the orb.
Among adventurers, beholders are known as deadly adversaries. The globular body of the beholder and its kin is supported by levitation, allowing it to float slowly about as it wills. The beholders are a hateful, aggressive and avaricious race, attacking or dominating other races, including other beholders and many of the beholder-kin.
This is because of a xenophobic intolerance among beholders that taught them to hate all creatures not like themselves. The basic, beholder body-type a sphere with a mouth and a central eye, eye-tipped tentacles allows for a great variety of beholder subspecies. Some have obvious differences, there are those covered with overlapping chitin plates, and those with smooth hides, or snakelike eye tentacles, and some with crustacean-like joints.
But something as small as a change in hide color or size of the central eye can make two groups of beholders sworn enemies. Beholders will normally attack immediately. The exact reproductive process of the beholder is unknown. The core racial hatred of the beholders may derive from the nature of their reproduction, which seems to produce identical or nearly so individuals with only slit margin for variation.
Beholder may use parthenogenic reproduction to duplicate themselves, and give birth live no beholder eggs have been found. The smaller eyes of the beholder may be used to produce a potion of levitation. Beholder is employed as material component to empower the following spells:. The beholder shoots three of the following magical eye rays at random reroll duplicates , choosing one to three targets it can see within feet of it: 1. Charm Ray.
The targeted creature must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by the beholder for 1 hour, or until the beholder harms the creature. Paralyzing Ray.

Their facial features are round Dwarves are by nature non-magical, and Never turn your back on a gnome and broad and they typically have curly have innate resistances to spells as well because they are enthusiastic practical hair.
Halflings are very short, a little as many poisons. Class is the character's occupation. The basic choices of class are : cleric, fighter, Elves are slimmer and somewhat short- ranger, mage, paladin, thief or multi- er than the average human and are easi- class.

They delight in for all classes in this game. To outsiders, elves often appear to be haughty and cold, although they Ability scores define the character's physical and mental prowess, and they are : strength, intelligence, wisdom, are known to be fiercely loyal to friends. They are sturdy, industrious, and generally quiet and peaceful. While not as long-lived are well liked by nearly all other races.

They are famous for their skill known for tremendous courage and tenacity that borders on the fanatic.
Gnomes typically live to be 23 24 Classes Each class has its own unique strengths, and each offers valuable talents and skills to a party. Fighter-types fighters, rangers, and paladins are needed to battle past the creatures that stand in the way of victory and glory.
Thieves are very handy when the party runs across traps and locked doors. Mages offer powerful spells, and clerics can both fight opponents and heal wounded party members. Each class has one or more prime requisites, or ability scores that are important to the class. A character with prime requisite scores of 16 or greater advances somewhat faster in levels.
Clerics are warrior priests, men and women who carry their faith in their weapon-arms as well as their hearts. Cleric training includes the use of divine magic and a limited selection of weapons.
They can use any type of armor, but their selection of arms is limited to blunt, impact-type weapons such as maces and flails. Clerical magic differs from mage spells in that clerical magic is of divine origin. Clerics do not carry tomes of spells and rituals. They receive power directly from the gods and cast spells through their holy symbols. While mages study and pour over their spells to imprint the rituals in their minds, clerics enter a meditative trance where they are receptive to the divine magic.
Clerics also have powers against undead monsters such as skeletons. The ability to turn undead is listed on the cleric's list of 1st-level 25 spells and is used like a spell.
However, because it is an ability it does not go away when used. As clerics advance in levels they gain more spells and greater power against undead. Clerics with wisdom of 13 or higher gain extra spells See the "Cleric Wisdom Spell Bonus" table on page Fighter training includes use and maintenance of all manner of weapons and armor. Fighters can use any type of armor or weapon without restriction.
Whether for glory or profit, fighters can be found in the thickest parts of battles, where only skill and bravery triumph. Fighters cannot cast any type of magical spells ; they rely on their strong swordarm. They can use any type of magical weapon or armor. They can also use magical items such as rings and gauntlets.
Fighters gain speed as well as skill when they go up in levels. High level fighters including paladins and rangers , are able to attack more often with melee weapons such as swords than other types of characters. Mages tend to be poor fighters, preferring to rely on their intellect and magical abilities.
While warriors and clerics may charge to the fore of a battle, mages tend to hang back and pummel foes with mystic attacks. Mages cannot wear any type of armor because armor is restrictive and it interferes with spellcasting. Also, because of their lack of martial inclination, mages are severely limited in the weapons they can use. Mages become very powerful as they increase in level. Lawfulness and good deeds are their meat and drink, and they lead lives of such chaste piety that even clerics stand respectful.
Paladins will not join a party that includes evil characters. Like other high level fighters, paladins are able to attack more often with melee weapons, such as swords, than other types of characters. In addition to skill in all types of arms and armor, paladins have several divine magical abilities. Paladins have extra resistance to magical attacks and poison, and they are immune to all disease. Paladins can heal once per day with their lay on hands ability two hit points per level of advancement.
The lay on hands ability is similar to the cure light wounds clerical spell. Paladins are L always surrounded by an aura of protection.
Because of this aura, all evil attackers suffer a penalty to their attacks. At 3rd level, paladins can turn undead as a cleric two levels below their own. At 9th level, paladins gain the ability to cast certain cleric spells, although they can never use cleric scrolls.
Paladins pray for their spells and cast them exactly as clerics. They are taught to live as much by their wits and skills as by their swords and bows. Like fighters, rangers can use any type of weapon or armor, although heavy armor interferes with their special abilities.
When wearing studded leather or lighter armor, rangers can fight with weapons in both hands without any penalties. Like other high level fighter-types, rangers are able to attack more often with melee weapons, such as swords, than other types of characters. Some are malcontents, who prey on the unsuspecting. Others are basically good, but are a little wanting in strength of character.
Adventurers long ago learned that a skilled thief in the party increases overall party survival-especially when dealing with trapped locks. As thieves gain levels they become more proficient at picking locks, and avoiding any attached traps. Because they need to move freely and quietly, thieves' abilities are restricted when they wear anything except leathertype armor.
Thieves have a greater choice of weapons than clerics or mages. The possibilities encompass a range of views from believing strongly in society and altruism Lawful Good to completely selfish and without any regard for others Chaotic Evil.
Alignment is presented in two parts : the character's world view and personal ethics. Ability Scores The base for each ability score is a number between 3 and Racial modifiers are automatically factored into the base number by the computer when any value is shown. The maximum value for scores is 19, unless modified by magical means. Fighters' strength may have a percentile value added to indicate exceptional ability.
Higher values always offer greater advantages. Strength measures physical power, muscle, and stamina. Fighter-type characters fighters, rangers, and paladins can have exceptional strengths greater than Exceptional strength is indicated by a percent value 01, 02, High strength allows characters to fight better. With hand weapons such as swords or maces they hit more often and receive damage bonuses. Halflings, even halfling-fighters, cannot have exceptional strengths.
Dexterity measures agility, hand-eye coordination, and reflex speed. Characters with high dexterities have 27 bonuses to armor class, which indicates how difficult they are to hit.
Good dexterity also gives bonuses when using missile weapons such as bows or slings. Dexterity of 16 or higher counters some of the minuses fighters suffer when using weapons in both hands. Constitution measures fitness, health, and physical toughness. High constitution increases the number of hit points a character receives. Hit points measure how difficult a character is to incapacitate or kill. Intelligence measures memory, reasoning, and learning ability.
Intelligence is the prime requisite for mages ; their skill and very survival hinges on learning and using their knowledge of magic. Wisdom measures a composite of judgment, enlightenment, will power, and intuition. Characters with wisdom of 7 or less are more susceptible to magical spells, while those with wisdom of 15 or greater have some resistance. Clerics with wisdom of 13 or greater receive extra spells see the Cleric Wisdom Spell Bonus table on page Charisma measures personal magnetism, persuasiveness, and ability to assume command.
Other Characteristics In addition to race, class, and ability scores, characters have several other characteristics that may change during the game : armor class, hit points, experience points, level, and alignment. Low armor class values can indicate different things. A character might be difficult to hit because he is outfitted with magical armor, while a monster might have the same armor class because it is small and fast.
Armor class changes only when characters find and use new armor or shields. High dexterity improves a character's armor class. Hit points HP measure how difficult a character or opponent is to incapacitate or kill ; higher values are better. Every time an attack gets past armor and defenses, it does damage that is subtracted from the target's hit points.
If hit points reach zero, the character is unconscious. If hit points reach or less, the character is dead. Experience Points EXP measure how much a character has accomplished. You earn experience points for killing monsters, finding treasure, and completing parts of the adventure. Characters increase in level when they earn enough experience points. All characters start with some experience points.
If a character is multi-class, these initial points are distributed evenly throughout all of his or her classes. Level measures how much a character has advanced in his or her class.
Whenever a character has earned enough experience points to advance in level, he gains hit points, combat ability, and resistance to the effects of poisons Armor Class AC measures how difficult someone is to hit and damage ; the lower the armor class value, the harder 28 and magical attacks. Mages, clerics, and high-level paladins gain the ability to memorize a greater number of spells and cast new spell levels.
Level advancement happens automatically whenever a character has enough experience points. Level advancement tables for all of the classes begin on page Creating Strong Characters There are many strategies for putting together an effective party of characters.
Certain combinations of character classes and race are more effective than others. Single-Class vs. Multi-Class Non-human characters have the ability to be multi-classed characters, but that does not mean they must be multi-class characters. Single-class characters have a number of advantages over multiclassed characters with the same amount of experience points. Also, the real time nature of the game means that a character can only do one thing at a time ; a character's ability to do many different things is often not as important as the ability to do one thing very well.
The advantages of multi-class characters are obvious, they combine the abilities of several different classes of character in one. Multiclassed characters are often useful to add an additional capability to a party, such as thieving skills or additional clerical healing spells. Remember, multiclass characters go up levels extremely slowly because their experience points are distributed evenly between their classes. Single-class fighters have several advantages.
With the same amount of experience points, they will average many more hit points and have a better chance to hit than multi-class fighter combinations. Racial Advantages Single-class clerics and mages will gain higher level spells much sooner than multi-class cleric or mage combinations.
With the same total amount of experience points, they will have more spells than multi-class spell casters. Dwarven Fighter: With careful play, rear rank characters will seldom get into melee combat. The following are some specific types of characters and their advantages. A dwarven fighter with a high constitution has a high resistance to poison, which makes it much easier to fight giant spiders.
A dwarf fighter can have a Constitution of 19, which can further increase hit points. A dwarf also allows the party to read dwarven writing. Human Paladin : Only humans can be paladins. Paladins can fight as well as any fighter, plus they have the ability to heal by laying on hands. They also gain the ability to cast some low level clerical healing spells when they reach ninth level. A single-class mage gains levels swiftly.
An elven mage with a high dexterity has a high armor class, which makes it easier to survive stray thrown weapons. As a mage, an elf's maximum constitution of 17 does not limit hit points and a maximum dexterity of 19 can improve armor class. Because mages cannot wear armor to improve their armor class, high dexterity is essential.
An elf also allows the party to read elven writing. Elven Mage: A singleclass cleric swiftly gains levels. Humans and Half Elves can have a maximum wisdom of 18 thus gaining the maximum bonus spells and they can attain the maximum level allowed in this game.
This character can use almost every item excluding lock picks , has a limited ability to fight, can cast offensive spells, and can heal. This character can use literally every item in the game and can pick locks as well.
Creating a Strong Party A party should include a good mix of classes and races to handle all of the challenges they encounter. You will need to decide upon your overall party strategy before making characters.
In general, a party should have at least two characters who can fight well, a character who can cast mage spells, and at least one character who can cast clerical healing spells. Fighters The party has many choices for the two front rank characters who can fight well. Most races make reasonable fighters, fighter, paladin, and ranger class characters fight better than other classes. Also, some of the NPCs that you meet in the game can fight well and may be useful in the front rank.
Spellcasters The choice of the various spellcasters is also important to the strategy of the party. One character who can cast mage spells is normally sufficient for most parties. Mages must find their higher level spells on scrolls; the supply of scrolls is limited, so it is not efficient to divide those spells among several mages in a party. It is often useful to have two characters who can cast clerical healing spells.
It is important not to get caught after a battle without a conscious cleric. A conscious cleric with a few cure light wounds 30 spells can heal as many hit points in hours, as a party without a conscious cleric could heal in many days of rest. But, such a diverse party needs a much larger number of experience points to get to higher levels.
This party works so long as the warriors in the front rank never let the spellcasters in the rear rank get into melee. This party should always have some character with the appropriate skill for a A further strategy is to have a mixed party with specialist warriors in the front rank and generalist spellcasters in the rear rank.
This strategy makes sure that the fighters gain levels and hit points as quickly as possible, but that the spellcasters will have a wide variety of spells available. The spell has no effect on characters who already have AC 6 or better and it does not have a cumulative effect with the shield spell. The damage inflicted by the flame increases as the mage increases in level and gains power.
The spell does one to three points of damage plus two points per level of the caster. For example, a 10th level mage would do points of damage.
All magic items in the party glow for a short period of time. Spells continue. If there are two monsters, the missile automatically hits the one on the same side as the caster.
Magic missile spells do greater damage as a mage increases in level. Initially, magic missiles do two to five points of damage, and for every two extra levels the spell does two to five more points.
So, a first or second-level mage does two to five points of damage, but a third or fourth-level mage does four to ten, and so on. It also offers AC 2 against hurled weapons darts, spears and AC 3 against propelled missiles arrows, sling-stones. The spell does not have a cumulative effect with the armor spell. The spell duration increases with the level of the caster. The field, remains in place until the spell dissipates naturally or the character touches an adjacent monster.
When the spell is cast an electrified hand is displayed. A mage in the front rank may attack with this hand like any other melee weapon. The game ask for a password to take stairs at a certain point Jettar 1 point DOS version. Right click the weapon in their hand. First time I played this game back in something I kept throwing the contents of my backpack at the kobolds to survive.

The tone at the MASH is established by recent arrivals, surgeons Captains 'Hawkeye' Pierce, 'Duke' Forrest, and 'Trapper' John McIntyre - the latter who Hawkeye knows he's met somewhere, but Trapper who won't divulge where - whose antics can be best described as non-regulation, and in the negative words of one of their fellow MASH-ers: unmilitary.
The unit's commanding officer, Colonel Henry Blake, doesn't care about this behavior as long as it doesn't affect him, and as long as they do their job and do it well, which they do.
