Or Whatever those multi-eyed monsters are called?

Thanks for the great game! I have waited for this a long time.

However I think that the beholders (Yellow multi-eyed flying monsters) are a bit too tough compared to original (Amiga) version. They shoot bit too powerful lightnings and they shoot them quite far away. I konw it's not a big deal, but one of those killed my whole party with three lightnings. (I was slow ;-D) And the same monster shot over 20 lightning bolts in a row..

I'd agree somewhat, the lightning bolts are slightly more damaging in RTC. Maybe this should get moved to the bugs section for discussion?

At some point one of us will have to quanitfy things like this, rather than just 'slightly harder, slightly more, slightly less'...I also think that the dragon's fireballs are much tougher now, and don't vary as much in power, so one hit can demolish a party.

You are right, but detailed description is hard to make. I'd say that the beholders I remember usually shot such a weak lightnings that they would run out of power during flight. And when a lightning hit the party, it most of the times damaged only the person it hit (left or right character in a front row).

I think it's better that way... the Wizard's Eyes as they are called were pretty weedy in DM; it's better that they are more dangerous in RTC.
