Thanks for the lists Leslie and Q. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I personally have no problem using the Cloak of Cheese against beholders, but my current party has not gotten far enough to get that yet. I wasn't concerned about it until I was exploring the sewers and had a beholder and 2 guaths Dimension Door in when I fought the Black Ooze (or pudding) near the Sea Troll. They blasted my party apart. I finally managed to beat them with Yoshimo's traps. My party is just out of the Chateau and have only completed a few of the easier quests (Slavers, Circus and some miscellaneous encounters), so I don't have the money to buy the potions and scrolls needed for all those protective spells.

I have Aerie and Kelsey in my party for arcane casting, but their spell lists are not up to speed for fighting beholders yet.

BTW, I thought there was also a Shield you could purchase from Ribald that would reflect Beholder rays. I'm almost positive there is a second item in the game that works similar to the Cloak of Cheese but isn't quite as powerful. I did buy the Shield of Reflection for Jaheira, but that isn't it.

Any idea what the 2nd Beholder cheese item is?

OH.. and my solo bard found that Skull Traps were also VERY effective against beholders.
