yep. imo beholders are far too weak in BG2. They are meant to be monsters that will basically kill you on sight. I think their abilities must have very high saves, because I've never been killed by their death/petrification/etc. rays.

Also the unseeing eye itself is a big disappointment. Looks exactly like a normal beholder, and he croaks after you use the rod and hit him *once*. how lame.
