Arjen, I can't let you have all the beholder fun :D

Its too early for a post ... Even a young black dragon nearly took me out with its weak acid breath. And there aren't really many options for acquiring acid resistance, too. Lightning is a similar problem ... I guess I'll just hold on for L35 when I shall evolve into a Undead Beholder (with resist base).

I like to play beholders for early combat. An 18/60 dex will grant a second blow no matter what your strength is. Perhaps nimble would be a better personality than combat? Perhaps not, as getting that third blow will require some strength. 18/30 to be exact, along with an 18/80 dex. I finally managed this and have been scouting the BM ad nauseam in hopes of damage rings. The downside to this strategy is a low starting Int (I began with a 12) but magic devices can fill the void nicely until stat gain.

My big moments were a ring of lordly protection snagged from a risky vault, and a giant pit of 203 giant skeleton trolls worth about 80k xp. This was only doable with levitation and hiding behind chasms as I could only handle one at a time!

4th attack!!!!

I had to quaff a NewLife (already) since my initial life was about as bad as it gets: biffed str/con/life rating. I'm not sure if this one is much better, but at least I know my str is no longer low.

DL33 is rather deadly. First, I fainted with a terrible feeling of death and was convinced it was a ring of speed ... until a couple of Ethereal Dragons came at me from off screen. Man, one breath would have ended it all, but neither chose to breathe on me, so I lived to tell my tale. Next, vaults are rather common too. Last one had, among other things, an Ancient Blue Dragon. Still no lightning resist but I think I could take a single breath. And CL35 is still a long way off ...

Take no prisoners!

I finally reached CL35 and the beloved undead beholder form. With this, I can put a damage ring on nearly every eyestalk and rage! Too bad I need that lousy ring of strength for my last attack as I'd really like all six rings to be slaying rings. Perhaps Hammerhand could make an appearance?

Uber rewards all around. One of the Its dropped Shiva's boots, and I was rewarded with Shiva's boots as well. Ah, this is frustrating for a legless Beholder!! But the Old Castle gave Amber for an uber reward as well, so I'm feeling better now :)

Beholders are deceptively powerful. Their melee damage is not particularly impressive, but the effects of their gaze are quite useful. Titans are a joke, even if the beholder lacks adequate AC to withstand more than a couple of rounds of melee.

Ultimate form at last, though I really miss the resist base and nether of the undead beholder. But the extra two ring slots help out a bit.

I'm still leaning on melee almost exclusively, though I have a ring of mana waiting for the end game. I'll need to artifact that, of course, and hopefully I'll get something good for a change!

Beholders are not overwhelmingly powerful, that is for sure. But they do get the job done. I lack the mana reserves to take down the big guys with just my spells, so I often fall back on attrition tactics. And melee is a bit low, but I've had to trade out quite a few pieces of gear. And still I lack a couple key resists. And still I am too slow. So I think I will need to go pure caster eventually.

Now where are those powerful rings? I'm finding plenty of vaults, even GCV and Bubble Vaults. But my progress in clearing them has been pathetic! I managed about 5% of the bubble before having to flee and the GCV was even worse! I guess I'll need to compensate with more destruction ...

I grew tired of struggling to kill end game uniques, so sold out for Oberon and the Serpent. Both were doable once equipped with all my resources and a can-do attitude, though the J had me doubting myself early on. A dozen destructions before I could get that first star off? That guy summons like crazy!

Nice! Now I really need to win as I started with the beholder. ;) You went as pure caster or did you actually hit him wqith 200 damage a round?

The melee is too weak for the Beholder though it would be nice to have the Drain Mana working since the J is normally resistant to vampirism. Instead, I lobbed 400hp darkness storms from a safe distance, retreating whenever the summons grew too nasty. In fact, at one point I lingered for an extra darkness storm after one of his uber summons and got pummeled from full hp down to 70 for my troubles, so its far better to be cautious! The Serpent will go bonkers summoning for a bit, but other times he'll let you pelt him with 20 or so darkness storms while retaliating with his offense, or simply marching towards you. He'll also waste turns dispelling magic if you use potions of resistance to tempt him.
