Talk:Beast with X Eyes

What is n?

n appears to be wrong. At level 72, I faced an 800-eyed beast. That would be (lvl ^ 1.4 + 2) * 2. The formula on the page does not include the doubling. Yes, no, some confirmation? --Burgie12 10:30, 7 August 2007 (CDT)

That's because the actual formula appears to be (Int(lvl ^ 1.4) + 2) * 2. The decimal portion of lvl^1.4 gets discarded, leaving a whole number. --Vert 21:13, 31 December 2007 (CST)

Combat initiative

The Beast with n Eyes does not always get combat initiative. As a level 30 disco bandit with buffed moxie of 2112, I got the jump in the first round, and I think all but 1 subsequent rounds. --Katitonic 16:53, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

As a level 19 AT but with 3047 Buffed moxie and +370% initiative, he got the jump 4/4 times, and he only had 26 eyes. See screenshot here: [1] I've never, ever, ever gotten the jump on the n eyed beast in my 7+ basement dives. If someone has, please provide a screenshot. --EEpiccolo 18:57, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

• Buffed stats mean nothing for initiative. Unless the information on the initiative page is erroneous, it only uses your base main stat. So you have a stat value of 361, according to that image. Not saying that it's possible to get the jump [I can't recall ever getting the jump personally, in my own basement runs], just correcting about initiative misinformation here. --Val 20:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
