The cover of the adventure is really beautiful. It would be a shame if they didn’t fully use their powers, leading to a very quick and unfulfilling battle.
XANTHAR BEHOLDER STATS HOW TO
However, I believe Beholders are difficult monsters to handle and the DM should make sure they know how to use them beforehand. The adventure feels like it leaves a lot of room for the DM to plan how things will go, but also to the players because they will have to decide which areas to visit and when.Īlso, you get to fight a couple of Beholders, and something that looks like one, which will definitely make the players feel like real heroes. The latter will complicate things since, there are a lot of factions in Skullport, and not all of them want the Xanathar Thieves Guild gone. In this adventure they can choose between a stealthy or a flashy approach. It’s important to note that the number of encounters the characters will face depends greatly on their approach. Moreover, there is a nice chase scene, accompanied by extra chase tables to make it more interesting. The encounters have have varying difficulties but they seem to be at an appropriate level for the adventure. There are quite a few combat encounters and there’s a great variety of enemies. However, I believe the author has done a good job. Of course, this can be changed according to your plans as a DM.Ĭreating an adventure for high leveled characters is a challenge. The adventure is set in the Forgotten Realms and assumes that the characters are agents of the Lords’ Alliance. However, even if they manage to find its lair, they will have to go through the Xanathar’s minions and, finally, confront the infamous Beholder itself. They’re supposed to help them but backstabbing isn’t that unlikely. There are two contacts waiting for them in Skullport, an Ilithid and a Duergar. To do that, they will have to track down its lair, which will not be that easy. Apart from being a Beholder, which is a good enough reason for some factions to want to kill it, the Xanathar is also the leader of a notorious Thieves Guild, which has become too dangerous to be left unchecked. The characters have the very important and dangerous task of getting rid of the Beholder known as the Xanathar. Skullport is a very shady place, located in the Undermountain, in Faerun.
