Passive

Basilisk Stare 
If the basilisk just glances at a creature, the only effect is a slight sensation of pressure. If it focuses on a creature for one round, the target’s limbs become heavy, slow, and grey. Their thoughts move like treacle. If they succeed on an Endurance roll, they can move.  If they fail, they are rooted in place, and enemies get a +2 to hit as if they were prone.. This effect ends immediately if the basilisk looks away.

If the basilisk stares at a target for a second round, they must succeed an Endurance roll again or be turned to stone. If they pass, they are still rooted in place (as above). The effect has Near range. Test at the start of each round, before initiative order is determined. The effect is not reflected by mirrors.

Attack 1

💀💀💀 Charge. (Charge). The basilisk prioritises partially petrified adventurers. It charges at them with double its normal movement (4) and snaps its great jaws at the target. This is an attack of 10 Base dice and 1 Weapon damage. If made of stone, the target shatters and is devoured by the basilisk. If made of flesh, the target is knocked prone. If the target was also surprised and not aware of the basilisk’s presence, they also take a fear attack of 12 base dice. The basilisk can also maintain its stare while it charges.

The target suffers an attack of 9 Base dice and 2 Weapon damage. If hit, they are knocked to Short range and are prone. If the attack misses, the adventurer still suffers 1 damage as the tail grazes them.

Attack 4

💀💀 Bite. (Melee Target Strike). The basilisk attempts to sink its fangs into an adventurer in Arm’s length.The target suffers an attack of 10 Base dice and 2 Weapon damage.

Attack 5

They can make a Move roll to avoid the beast’s maw but if they fail they suffer an attack of 8 Base dice, 1 Weapon damage and are devoured. They then take 1 damage each round and must inflict 4 damage to break free from inside the basilisk.

Notes

The GM can tweak the difficulty of a fight with a beholder by choosing to use the Lesser Eye Rays attack more or less frequently.

I recommend you draw Initiative cards for each Lesser Eye, so the eyes act intermittently during the round. At the end of the round, the beholder moves or performs other actions.

A beholder has no reason to allow enemies to approach to Arms Length range. It can fly and will maintain altitude if possible. A savvy party may need to use nets, harpoons or grappling hooks to control the movement of a beholder.

Attributes

Strength 12 + (3 per lesser eye x 3) = 24, Agility 3, Wits 4, Empathy 4.

Movement

1 (fly)

Armor

6 (natural)

Special Defences

Antimagic Cone. Magic does not work in front of the monster when its main eye is open. This also disables its own lesser eyes in that direction. The monster can open or close this eye, or face in different directions easily. Assume the cone covers 1 person at Arms Length, 2 people at Near, 4 people at Short.

Special Weaknesses

Lesser Eyes. The beholder starts with 3 lesser eyes. Each of these lesser eyes can shoot a ray (Attack 1). Decide which eyes your beholder has, or roll randomly. An adventurer can target a lesser eye by taking a -3 Penalty. 3 damage destroys a lesser eye. An eye cannot affect a target in front of the main anti magic eye, if the main eye is open.

Attack 1

1. Telekinesis. On a hit, the target is flung 1 zone and takes 2d6 Falling damage.

4. Harm. On a hit, the target takes 3 damage to Agility or Strength (their choice).
5. Fear. On a hit, roll a 12 Base Dice Fear attack.
6. Slow. On a hit, the target can only take Slow Actions for 1d6 rounds or until an ally uses an ability such as Destroy Magic to help.
7. Charm. On a hit, the target takes 3 damage to Empathy. If this breaks them, they obey the beholder for 1d6 rounds or until an ally uses an ability such as Destroy Magic to help.
