Part of the problem is that the Beholder form is highly unstable for the client. It frequently causes crashes for the MoMF while shifting into it (or at least to some people it does), and causes other people to crash too if you shift next to them. Why, I have no idea. And most of the creature abilities don't work quite as they would for an NPC. Usually neutered versions and whathaveyou. I don't personally have Beholder yet so I couldn't say if this is true in that particular case.
And you actually can use potions, I tested this last night. It's stupid and not supposed to work, but if you have another PC with you, you can open a barter window with them, which opens your inventory, which allows you to drink potions. You can't use anything else in there, just them.
So yeah - from my experience, they're not horrible in a fight if you buff yourself and don't expect too much. But it's still a neat RP class!
