Talk:Beholder Aspirant (3.5e Prestige Class)

Hello Eiji-Kun,

I am terribly sorry if you have been asked for clarification on this before, but I am playing your Beholder Aspirant class in a campaign, and was hoping for some clarification on the assigning of spells to an eyestalk. I am unsure on whether or not you can change spells assigned to an eyestalk, kind of like preparing spells at the beginning of a day, or if you meant a more permanent assignment of spells like how real beholders have. Additionally my DM wants to know if you intended for spells to be assigned to multiple eyestalks for the use of stacking de-buffs or doing a huge "nuke" in a move.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and reply to this! Sorry again if you have answered this before!

Happy to help, and glad to see it in action. When you assign a spell to an eyestalk it's permanent, so pick your favorite you want to keep at will (but you can change the spell when you level if you wish). Plus the other listed changes (becomes a 60 ft, single target ray regardless of the original spell).

As far as nuking, using a full round lets you fire all your lasers, but "You are limited to a maximum of three eyestalks per individual target and the total effective spell level of all your used eyestalks cannot exceed the maximum spell level you are able to cast." So in this case keeping some lower level eyestalks around is good for you if you want to drop multiple spells on a single target. Behind the scenes, this is to keep people from having triple-disintegrates at will by just having nothing but high level blasty beams all day.

Feel free to ask for more clarification as you need. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 04:57, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
