I believe it's BaldurDash that affects how Beholders react to Summons. Before I BaldurDashed, I could send in a pack of Skeletons, and if the Beholders couldn't see my party members (due to Stealth or Invisibility), they wouldn't use their Beholder Rays--they acted like they wanted to save their "spells" for something special (me), and they just tried to BITE my Skeletons to death. And, since these weren't (and still aren't) Improved Beholders, mere Skeletons were sufficient to take them down.

After BaldurDash, however, a single Death Spell instantly kills all your Summons.

The Necklace of Missiles seems to be a ripoff--it has only TWO charges on it! I'll try selling/rebuying to see it that's the maximum.
