I feel this does not do the 90% MR justice.<br /><br />Dragon Magazine was dedicated to Psionics and has a three page spread on The Ecology of Mind Flayers.<br /><br />Once again, great job and thank you for the read,<br />RogerFatherTimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320225208330486818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-15845568933945514082018-11-04T09:28:14.074-08:002018-11-04T09:28:14.074-08:00Good article and great research, but you missed a ...Good article and great research, but you missed a Illithid Prestige Class in Complete Psionic for 3e.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-70265333852820309672014-08-14T20:52:06.251-07:002014-08-14T20:52:06.251-07:00Faoladh: 90% magic resistance is really crazy to m...Faoladh: 90% magic resistance is really crazy to me. That would really put a scare in a lot of gaming groups. That campaign idea sounds really cool. You could use a lot of material from the final adventure in the mind flayer trilogy for that.<br /><br />Unknown: Mind Flayers are freaky.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263753821685936593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-57700954747668853832014-08-13T12:17:15.073-07:002014-08-13T12:17:15.073-07:00I've played D&D since 1980 and I've on...I've played D&D since 1980 and I've only ever had one dream with anything game related in it and it was a mind flayer.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00107903833664003315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-44787292971577537062014-08-09T19:08:38.959-07:002014-08-09T19:08:38.959-07:00A) I love Mind Flayers, and have ever since I firs...A) I love Mind Flayers, and have ever since I first read the Monster Manual in 1979.<br /><br />B) I love the Illithiad.<br /><br />C) 1E Mind Flayers also have 90% Magic Resistance. (And, yes, the Mind Blast is part of psionics, which is also the only psionic attack that can be used against non-psionics. The info is laid out in the DMG.)<br /><br />D) I want to run a science fantasy game using D&D monsters as the aliens. Mind Flayers, as laid out in the Illithiad, are top of that list (also Neo-Otyughs, Neogi and their Umber Hulk servants, Ropers, and Grell). My theory is that Illithid originally evolved on the same planet as Ropers, making Urophion forms, then learned that they could make better forms for themselves by tadpoling humanoids.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.com
