Sages believed that these malicious eye tyrants made their servants craft Beholder Crowns to reward their most valuable minions and slaves. History īeholder Crowns were in high demand by many of eccentric beholder-worshiping cults.

Creation Ĭopies and variants of Beholder Crowns could be created by experienced magical item crafters with the use of the same spells that were imbued into these crowns. Additionally, these helmets glowed with dim orange light. The helmet crowns usually had limited functionality, allowing the wearers to cast finger of death (thirteen charges) and flesh to stone (five charges) spells once a day each. Each eyestalk ray had the reach of 30 feet (9.1 meters). Each crown had a limited number of gems, uses, and the items completely crumbles into dust once all charges were exhausted. Their powers were charm person, charm monster, disintegrate, eyebite, fear, finger of death, flesh to stone, inflict moderate wounds, slow, and telekinesis. Powers Įach eyestalk's gem was imbued with one of the beholder's deadly rays. Just like their regular crown versions, they had eight metal spike-like eyestalks, each ending with a gem. The Beholder Crowns that resembled full-headed helmets had a crown embedded on their tops. Some, however, were shaped into grotesque monstrous headwear with uneven eye stalks chaotically sprouting from the base. These crowns usually had ten stalks, each topped with gems. Some of these crowns appeared to be old tarnished bronze headwear.
