So a beholder lost an eye stock. I assume that each eye ray is associated with a individual eye stock right? So I will just pick a random one to be gone. So like each eye stalk has a power.

There was at one point a beholder addendum put out to an old module. I'm pretty sure that it was posited that a beholder could have any number of eyes and they weren't directly tied to specific effects. It also said that the most powerful beholders didn't have eye stalks at all but their eyes were hooded within their bodies. So I think there's a lot of leeway here. How much of that old lore do you want to tie in? Does your beholder have 10 eye stalks and each are tied to an ability? I think that's really up to you. If you are going with 10 stalks and 10 abilities then I'd say, yeah, just roll a 1d10 and take it out.

I'm curious though. How did it loose an eye?

Volos Volos Volos.... has a big section on Beholders. Even has ideas for lost stalks.
Duh, I can't believe I forgot about Volos! I only that have that in hard copy so end up not using much in online games.

That's weird. The section starts really close to the beginning. Oh, or d you mean you can't find anything about missing an eye?

In prior editions each eye had a different power.
