Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder beholder

[JRRNeiklot]

Has anyone updated the beholder to PF? I know it's WOTC IP, I'm not looking for anything official, just a fan conversion.

Thanks.

It's also entirely possible just to use the 3.5 version I suppose.

In Episode 4 of the podcast, we converted the Beholder as part of the segment called 'Monster Mash'.
We plan to convert all the WoTC mobs that didn't make it into Pathfinder (yet).

Cheers!

The Iconic Bestiary had something called an Evil Eye that might serve your purpose. It has been converted to Pathfinder rules here

Thanks! Just what I was looking for.

Yes, but with the powerup everyone gets in PF, I'm afraid a standars beholder might be a bit fragile.

Yes, those beholders are wilting flowers.

The Beholder, Illithid and Displacer Beast are all IP claimed by WotC.

The Displacer Beast was created by A. E. Van Voght (sp?) for short story "Black Destroyer" and later the novel "The Voyage of the Space Beagle".

I have not really looked into the others myself, but I believe they have similar previous origins. Gygax was well known for "adapting" the work of others.

AC 20 60 hp. CR13. A 5th level PF fighter with a table leg can kill it in two rounds. Naked. But yeah, their offense is still nasty.

IIRC, I've read that Rob Kuntz came up with the beholder, while DMing for the Greyhawk campaign.
