Beholder for Game Master Mode

Any issues/bugs please let me know, and I'll fix them as soon as I can! Suggestions welcome.



Adds a Beholder for use in the game master mode! It's located under Monsters -> Abominations in the characters tab.

There are also additional Beholder types: The Eye of Flame, Eye of Frost, a Shadow Beholder and a variant regular Beholder.

In the files and the mod list on the main menu this mod is listed as "B_Creature". This is intentional so that if this mod is automatically downloaded to a player's game as part of a Game Master campaign, viewing their mod list or game files will not reveal spoilers to the players about the fact the campaign contains a Beholder.

The Beholder has the ability to melee attack with it's teeth, and has enough AP to cast 6 eye rays per turn along with it's antimagic eye ability. This is a variant Beholder with the same main eye ability as the regular beholder, but with most eye rays replaced with alternate variants.

It possesses the following skills:

The Eye of the Beholder ability should always be used at the start of the turn to correctly represent the combat abilities of a Beholder. Due to the fact the Eye of the Beholder ability can be used at any point during the turn, it is necessary to GM the monster yourself when it is fighting players. If an AI is given control of the Beholder, it will use it's antimagic eye at the end of the turn, rendering the mechanic where the Beholder is unable to target characters in it's gaze obsolete.



I did not create the 3D model. Full credit goes to BOUNCE for making this brilliant Beholder model and animating it: https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn2/model/bounce-beholder
