Beholders are kinda Iconic to Dungeons and Dragons though, as in, they're the freakin' mascot.
no matter how much you love Balors, or anything else with a "B" name, service to the brand dictates that they're not going to surpass Beholders by a large enough margin to edge them out.
a sad truth, but the truth all the same.

Tell the Pigeons in the park I said "hi", when your ass gets petrified...
Or disintegrated, apparently they can do that too...
wow, how are you supposed to fight these things? they look at you and you've got so many status conditions, it's a wonder they haven't overrun the underdark.

I'm not all that familiar with D&D, as the best I've gotten is a "toe dip" with Baldurs gate (I'm @ Nashkel... that's seriously as far as I've gotten)
is there some sort of ward that keeps you safe, or does the party mage need to re-spec or re-memorize a bunch of spells?

Spells don't help; the Beholder's main eye constantly produces an anti-magic cone that negates almost anything, even enchantments that are below a certain level. (Determined by how the DM generates the Beholder's CR)
Your best hope is a really high-level monk and/or fighter if it's spotted you, or a rogue/assassin that can blind several eyes from stealth.

nebuchadnezzaurus (11/07/2015) [-] IICR, there are next to none in the original BG. And even in BG2, they don't appear until pretty late in the game where you're more than well-equipped to handle them. In any case slap a few protection from evils and magic resistance or anti charm and petrification scrolls on your fighters and you'll be fine
