I’m trying to make a cyborg beholder/death tyrant but I got no clue where to start mechanicals speaking. Got any fucked up ideas?
BEHOLDER BOSSIFICATION: B-HLD-3R
Lore: one of the core values of the Beholder is narcissism. They believe that they are the most perfect being in existence, and that any alterations from this single ideal form is a monstrosity that must be purged. But not one. The monstrous being classified as B-HLD-3R was a beholder once, imprisoned by some even greater, more alien intelligence. It emerged from the laboratory augmented with foul sciences, having butchered its creators and stolen their technology. Obsessed with shedding its flesh in favor of steel and power, B-HLD-3R doesn't view itself as perfect. It is still a work in progress.
Challenge Rating: somewhere in the mid twenties probably, maybe a lil higher. might be in the low 30s honestly. this boss is a menace.
Lair: B-HLD-3R dwells in the laboratory it was first augmented in, continuing to improve itself with the equipment found within. The lair doesn't exist in the Material Plane, and exhibits no effects on its surroundings, but there are a few permanent effects within the lair that B-HLD-3R has added to defend itself.
Electric shocks run through the halls on a thirty-minute cycle, interrupting any attempts to rest and dealing 2d6 lightning damage to any creature in the halls. Creatures other B-HLD-3R gain no benefits from short or long rests.
B-HLD-3R knows everything that happens in its lair, due to its numerous security cameras and microphones.
Lair Actions: Each round, on initiative count 20, B-HLD-3R can choose one of the following Lair Actions. It cannot choose the same option two turns in a row.
A laser turret emerges from a wall panel within 60 feet of B-HLD-3R. A creature of B-HLD-3R's choice must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw or take 52 (8d12) radiant damage.
An EMP pulse goes off, ending concentration on any spells.
a 10 foot by 10 foot grate opens in the floor at a point B-HLD-3R can see, letting out a burst of steam. The steam heavily obscures the area between the grate and the ceiling until initiative count 20 on the next round, and deals 28 (8d6) fire damage to any creature that starts its turn in the area.
Stats: B-HLD-3R has the stats of a Beholder, with the following changes:
Speed: fly 80 ft. (hover)
Immunity to lightning and poison damage
Eye Beam save DCs are 18.
Legendary Resistance 3/Day
Magic Resistance. B-HLD-3R has advantage on saving throws against spells.
Irradiation Cone (Replaces Antimagic Cone). B-HLD-3R's central eye creates an area of radiation in a 150-foot cone. At the start of each of its turns, the beholder decides which way the cone faces and whether the cone is active. A creature that starts its turn in the cone must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or take 14 (4d6) poison damage, taking half damage on a success. If it fails the save by 5 or more, it takes an additional 14 (4d6) poison damage and is poisoned for 1 hour. It can repeat the save at the end of each turn, ending the poisoned condition on itself and becoming immune to being poisoned by this feature for 24 hours on a success. The area affected by this trait is brightly lit.
Rocket Engine. When B-HLD-3R moves, any creature within 10 feet of it at any point during that movement must make a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 28 (8d6) fire damage and being blinded and deafened until the end of their next turn. On a successful save, they take half as much damage and aren't blinded/deafened. The blindness/deafness takes place prior to any opportunity attacks.
Reactive. B-HLD-3R can take a reaction on each turn of combat.
Point Defense System. When struck by a ranged weapon or spell attack, B-HLD-3R can use a reaction to reduce the damage of the attack to 0.
Core Breach (Mythic Trait; Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). If B-HLD-3R is reduced to 0 hit points, it doesn't die or fall unconscious. Instead, it overloads its reactor core, regains 240 hit points, and its Irradiation Cone becomes a 150-foot radius sphere instead of a cone for the next hour. After using this trait, B-HLD-3R can use one of its mythic actions as legendary actions for 1 hour.
Eye Rays. Exactly like a Beholder's standard Eye Rays Action, but it shoots four rays and doesn't reroll duplicates.
Laser (Replaces the Death Ray option from the Eye Rays Action). Each creature in a line 5 feet wide and 120 feet long starting from B-HLD-3R must succeed on a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw, taking 52 (8d12) radiant damage on a failure or half as much on a success.
Meat Grinder (Replaces Bite). Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 26 (4d12) piercing damage. This weapon gets a critical hit on an attack roll of 19 or 20.
Eye Ray. B-HLD-3R uses one random eye ray.
Optimized Eye Ray. B-HLD-3R uses one eye ray of its choice.
The Grinder (Costs 2 Actions). B-HLD-3R makes three meat grinder attacks.
Mythic Trait: If you REALLY hate your players, you can use B-HLD-3R's Core Breach trait: "The cyborg beholder's eye, glowing a putrid, agonizing green, brightens. Horrible, painful light begins to shine from its wounds, repairing the beholder's damage even as your skin begins to bubble and crack." Fighting B-HLD-3R as a Mythic Encounter is equivalent to fighting two creatures of whatever hellish number its CR comes out to.
B-HLD-3R plays the fight smart, flying out of reach and raining down laser-y death. If you want to use this monster in your games, probably tone it down a little. It's very, very strong.
Fuck the players their characters are dead as shit.
