I have done this quest.  I have soloed this quest while my weak group mates stayed back soaking the XP.  I know first hand how easy it is to cheese the AI here.  Comparing a beholder to a troll or wererat is pretty much the reasoning behind my suggestion.  They are literally top end dangerous foes in the D&D realms.

Suggestions / Remove Beholder Quest in the Lowerdark
November 19, 2017, 06:15:02 PM
Probably a bit radical and will be met with insane resistance but I think it makes some sense.  Beholders are supposed to be one of the most feared, insane, scary monsters in D&D.  This quest really trivializes how PCs look at them, in my experience.  Players often get the required 'fort' saves and cheese it with darkness which I strongly feel such a monster likely would be able to very easily counter or see past.  Balancing such a quest is nearly impossible due to the save or die nature of the creature in question.  If you make higher or random DCs on the rays people will either complain or just never do the quest anyways.

Removing the quest and making the beholder a DM tool or rare strong spawn in the Lowerdark as it is now seems far more interesting way to keep this creature from being "off to hunt some beholders come join me friends" type of sight which I find cringe worthy.

Bug Reports / Imaskari Chain Coat

On the coat it gives +2 lore and then a +1 lore, it doesn't stack.  Unsure if it's supposed to be +3 lore or if the +1 lore is intended to be something else, like listen.
