Could you be more specific? It's my material, and I'd like to get a little feedback on it. I've used it to make beholder-style characters before (though I've never actually played one, and the giant eyeball-tentacle monster the PCs fought didn't really count).

An 3.0 edition Dragon Magazine pegged beholders at ECL 24, IIRC. Another Dragon Magazine article had feats for beholders - one allowing them to activate magic items with their telekinesis (Skilled Telekinetic?).

Magical arms can be had via a magic item in Savage Species or Artificer's Arms (MIC, MoE).

I don't remember a beholder with arms.

If you're going to try this then I suggest buying or borrowing Lords of Madness...lots of beholder info. Not sure there's an LA discussed but it's got to be high I'd assume.

Lords of Madness has variant beholders as well. The aquatic one has two pincers. Could that be the one you're thinking of?

Beholders aren't playable monsters, they don't have LA. Even if they did, we could not post it because that would be a CoC violation.

So should I assume there's nothing wrong with the progressions, or are you still formulating a response? :P
