Dungeons and dragons part 2 chapter ideas
So what would be as iconic and intimidating to face in dnd besides vecna? What about The Beholder itself?
As for it being too big for dbd, of all the games and things ive seen a beholder in, its size seems to vary from small to huge so they could easily fix it to fit through doors and windows, maybe even a squeezing through animation so their tentacle eyes can come through the door behind them etc.
The first thing that comes to mind with a beholder is its ability to turn people to stone, and eye lasers. Maybe he can have a passive ability that charges up on each survivor the more they look at the beholder which either eventually turns them to stone like being stuck in a bear trap, or an alternative to charge up the beholders ranged attack laser which can work similar to deathslingers shots just doesnt real them in. Before any of that sounds overpowered, the counter is to simply not look at the killer while it is looking at you (even while looping) or to look at them as minimally as possible, which would be quite the unique mechanic as everyone has trained their looping skills at looking behind them in chase. As for the laser it would have its own cooldown possibly as long as draculas hellfire. If all of that sound too simple they could also add a floating mechanic for mobility like selecting a spot at a distance to float over to (even on higher elevations) but again with its own cooldown like vecnas fly ability.
As for a survivor for the chapter, what kind of character would stand out amongs the people in dbd as someone unique, possibly a Tiefling as they somewhat resemble a demon, yet are just as capable of getting killed as an elf bard lol. They went with the bard last time becaus most of the other classes might be too combat oriented, but the entity rigs the trials so that nobody can actually fight back and kill the killers. So i don't see why they cant make them a spellcaster like a sorceress or something but their perks are based on some non lethal spells, something that can stun the killer but shares charges limmited charges amongs the whole team to avoid being abused or even make it an invocation to get those charges.
mostly just wanted to bring up the thought of another dnd chapter and what potential characters could be used for either side, details subject to change however to fit the game fairly 😃
