Doom Sphere

Adversaries Designed by Erazmas Crow

Adversary overview

This dark, roughly spheroid creature has a (it's a beholder) main projector and 10 highly mobile tentacle mounted projectors (really it's an alternate beholder).

Doom Sphere, an apt name for this flying tentacled ball of certain death. There is an unknowable intelligence trapped inside that shell, and it hates you.
A tentacle can be destroyed by dealing 3 hp to it. Any damage to a tentacle does not affect the creatures hp total.
A tentacle can only be used once per GM turn
Any ray with the continuous tag (continuous) is set on keeping focus on the pc under its power. If it is interrupted or changes target that character is free of the rays effects.
