<Do beholders wear contacts?> -> I think the best way is to sneak underneath one and then grab onto it -> somehow from the bottom... Those eye's aren't too flexible. -> Wayne That's the way my party did it. Actually, we stumbled onto one and nearly lost two party members before we got out of there--doing only a small bit of damage to the beholder in the process. But then we regrouped, and went in again--better prepared this time. One of our mages "invisibled" the hack-and-slash types, and wearing the sum total of the party's Elven boots (3 pairs, I believe), they positioned themselves around and underneath the beast. The magic-users then lead a frontal assault/diversion while all the fighters did heavy damage before they "reappeared". By then the result was academic. Scott J.
