Through this process we hope to uncover and correct any errors in programming . However, due to the complex nature of our simulations, some program errors may go undetected until after publication . In addition to errors in the program, there are occasionally problems with the disk itself . e experience the industry standard of approximately a 3 to 5% failure rate of duplicated disks . Before assuming that a disk is defective, make sure to check your disk drive . Up to 95% of the disks returned to us as defective will run fine on our computer systems . Often the problem is with a disk drive that needs servicing for alignment, speed, or cleaning . Should you have a defective disk, please return the disk only (keep all other parts of the game) to our Customer Support Department, along with a note describing the problem you have encountered . A replace- ment disk will be provided upon our receipt of the defective disk . Should you uncover an error in the program, return both your game disk and any "save game" disks to our Customer Support Department . Please enclose a description of what was taking place in the game when the error occurred . Upon correction of the program error, we will return an updated disk to you . Always make sure to include your name, address, and daytime telephone number with any correspondence . e will do our best to see that any problems are corrected as soon as possible . i TABLE OF CONTENTS KHELBEN'S LETTER TO THE PARTY 1 OLTEC'S REPORT 2 ENTLY KELSO'S OURNAL 4 INTRODUCTION 7 Eye of the Beholder 11 orld 7 hat Comes ith this Game 7 Copy Protection 7 Getting Started uickly 7 Clicking with Your Mouse 8 Using the Keyboard 8 A Crash Course in Combat 10 A Crash Course in Spellcasting 11 CREATING A NE PARTY 12 Generating Characters 12 Modifying and Keeping Characters 14 Deleting Characters 14 hen the Party is Complete 14 Characters that oin the Party 14 HO TO PLAY EYE OF THE BEHOLDER 11 15 Adventuring 15 Equipment 19 Character Information 20 Camp 21 YOUR CHARACTERS AND YOUR PARTY 23 Character Basics 23 Creating Strong Characters 29 Creating a Strong Party 30 SPELLS 32 Mage Spells 32 Cleric Spells 38 Strategies for Using Spells 43 ADVENTURING STRATEGY 45 Attacking Opponents 45 Hints 4 BESTIARY 48 TABLES 52 Experience Levels 52 Ability Scores 54 eapons 5 Armor 5 INDE OF SPELLS 58

From the reports of the revel ey, 3 surmise that a good time was had by all . Also, one scholars very much appreciated your donation of the historic artifacts that you recovered beneath one city. The study of the scrolls, keys, and stone items should give ns an important new understanding of one city's history . lAnfortnnately, another situation has arisen that could threaten the city. For some time there have been rumors of people disappearing from villages to the north and west of the city . Now, we have written confirmation o f the discovery o f human remains in shallow graves . Evil forces and a powerful ancient artifact may be involved . Thank yon for volunteering to investigate the area to the north and west of the city where these events have occnreed . 7ncl nded with this letter are copies o f the documents that aroused our suspicions . Provisions have been provided for your ourney . Good luck . your trusted friend, KkeI bevy - OLTEC'S REPORT t - ith the previous letter, Khelben encloses the following report from Oltec, Captain of the City Guard of aterdeep . Master Blacl sfa e may again have trouble near the city o f aterdeep . After the annual harvest festival, the City Guard made its routine sweeps searching for lost and drunken revelers . On the second path o , the old north road, we came upon the remains of an overturned carriage, The driver had been killed by an arrow throug h his heart . There was a small amount o f blood inside the carriage . However, the carriage horses were grazing nearby and the dead driver still had his purse full o f coins . This was not a simple robbery, for the attackers did not take the coins or the horses, The only thing missing from the carriage seemed to be the passenger . Oar tracker followed a faint trail o f blood from the carriage o- into the soft sand at the side of the road, There, she pointed oat a deeply set boot print, as i f someone were carrying a heavy load, The attacker mast have been carrying the passenger away after the battle . e searched the area, bat lost the trail in the harder ground to the north, The only frait o f oar search was a small wooden box that had fallen beneath a bash along the attacker's trail. The box contained a boaad oaraal, the writings of that eccentric scholar eatly Kelso, it am aware that scholar Kelso's ournals were valuable in the past . They helped veri-y the existence of that aefarioas threat in the sewers beneath aterdeep . However, Kelso's infernal investigations of obscure occurrences in the city have also been the bane o f my men on more than one occasion . Because of Kelso's history, personally examined the ournal, 0 am glad it did, for its writings foretell omiaoas events, The oaraal contains notes of evil occurrences 2
