For a story-centric game the rulebook feels a bit on the thick side.

The dragon has the right idea, gearing the fuck away from DnD as fast as it can.

The only offence I take to this image is the Beholder not currently ray of deathing everything in sight.

As the party celebrates successfully legalizing gay marriage, the necromancer completes his ritual and his immortal undead army conquers the world.

They should really leave the roleplayed romances and rolling for butt penetration checks to the World of Darkness kids.

*The Spell: The Soporific Nexus**The beholder's dread central eye does not emit a ray of anti-magic, but instead projects a **Soporific Nexus**—a shimmering, dome-shaped field of energy that expands rapidly to engulf a vast area. The air within the Nexus shimmers like a heat haze, filled with the scent of ozone and forgotten, blissful memories.This spell is a masterful, layered weave of two devastating effects:**1. Mass Illusion (The Grand Mirage):**
The Nexus does not create a single illusion, but rather acts as a canvas upon which the victims' own minds paint their deepest, most fervent desires. A warrior sees himself crowned emperor on a mountain of gold. A wizard experiences the moment of unlocking the universe's final secret. A lover is reunited with their soulmate. The illusions are perfect, seamless, and tailored with cruel, psychological precision. They are not just seen; they are felt, smelled, and tasted with absolute fidelity.**2. Euphoria Ray (The Blissful Surge):**
Simultaneously, the enchanted atmosphere of the Nexus floods the senses with a neuro-magical euphoria. It is a wave of pure, undiluted ecstasy that courses through the body, overwhelming the nervous system. This is not a gentle happiness, but a violent, addictive rapture. Every touch feels like a lover's caress, every sound is a symphony, and the sight of their personal illusion becomes a religious experience.---### **The Mechanism of Slow Death: Overstimulation and Atrophy**The horror of the Soporific Nexus is not in immediate damage, but in a slow, insidious decay. The combination of perfect illusion and overwhelming euphoria creates a feedback loop of overstimulation from which there is no desire to escape.

At the start of each of its turns, the beholder decides which way the cone faces and whether the eye is active. The eye works even if the beholder is blinded or unconscious. If the cone overlaps an area of magic, the area is suppressed, but the eye's effect is not canceled.***Dream-Eater's Aura.*** Any creature that starts its turn within 30 feet of the Oneirothanatos and can see it must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be affected by the *Slow* spell for 1 minute.

You know what the problem is with le epic taco and the faggot dwarfs with the hipster beard tats and the Mexican orcs? It emphasizes the fakeness of the whole thing. Who wants to pay good cash American to be reminded 'this is fake, don't get too immersed?' Who wants to sink money, free time, and thought into something that's just the same boring life they sleepwalk through to get to their leisure time, except with slightly fantastic people making the lattes? No one wants to go out in the world to work at Starbucks. It provokes no wonder. It causes no excitement. It asks nothing of interest.

Beholders are supposed to be racial supremacists
>Xenophobic and vicious creatures, beholders were quick to attack enemies, including anyone they deemed not "like themselves." Beholders, as a rule, were violent and greedy, hungering for both wealth and power over others. This was made all the more complicated since more than one variety of beholder existed, each believing itself to be the pinnacle of bodily perfection and they viewed other beholders who differed from this image in even the most minute details as loathsome enemies and inferiors
