Beholder beams

[theduck]

So, I was looking in the monster manual, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out if beholders have to roll to hit with their eye beams, or if they just hit and the people have to make a save. How have you guys been playing it?

There is no attack roll. They auto-hit and force a save.

Think of a Beholder as a super intelligent death dealing disco ball, spinning slowly, shooting out random magical doom while Disco Inferno plays at 90db.

I like to run my beholders confused and shooting random creatures... They also miiiight say "shoop da woop, fireing mah lahzaaaar"

My DM pulled my rogue out of stealth last session because i said that, i guess he didnt like the joke.

Fun fact - blinding a beholder pretty much turns it into a defenseless punching bag. I suppose it could still use its pathetic bite attack...

What if you use stunning strike on a death tyrant? ofc, he can't use his normal action. But can he use legendary actions while under the effect of a monk's stunning strike?
