i just hate my dwarves, thats all ^^
btw, whats the point if you dont have any real threat? and a megabeast of size 15 with damblock of 20 is still crushed by a group of say 12 crossbowmen or spearmen.

i like the challenge of serious threats, and my suggestions are intended to make a shitty mean megabeast at size 15

Are illithids really working out alright? I imagine it would be a bit strange having an illithid trying to tentacle-eat your ankle. There aren't any brains down there.

Also, they're underdark creatures. Overground that seems... Strange.


Also, I'm hoping you gave them the [EXTRAVISION] tag? Just seems reasonable.



Illithids are underdark creatures, but if you remember the Baldur's gate, they were even in the city sewers, planning the malevolent strategies.
I declined the idea of all-eating illthids and made them to attack with brain (bytoken) with a "mind blast" in close range: "you send telekinetic wave to ..." with 1-8 bludgeoning attack, and it works fine.
For sure they have an extravision. The face-tentacle attack is secondary, but now it's not used because you can't grab the brain to stop them from attacking you "mentally", and thus I want to make more "main" attacks with different descriptions which are mental and add 1 "main" attack with tentacles - just in case. Also why can't an Illithid sprout you in ankle? Maybe he only missed your head. Train wrestling better   :)
